"En este montaje teatral disfrutaremos de poesía, danza, música y títeres. Apreciaremos la voz de la Décima Musa al asimilar las culturas prehispánicas, africanas y occidentales; la compleja relación con los poderes políticos y eclesiásticos; y la batalla apasionada que libró para defender el derecho de la mujer a cultivar el conocimiento en igualdad con el hombre y a expresar sus ideas con libertad."
