Virgins and Goddesses engages with sacred female iconography, with a focus on the juxtaposition of Mexican Catholic imagery relating to the Virgin, and Aztec iconography, as in the fierce earth goddess Tlaltecuhtli.

Luna places the goddess within the current landscape of state violence, blurring the lines between the sacred and the profane in a performative gesture of remembrance and ritual cleansing.


Violeta Luna’s work explores the relationship between theatre, performance art, and community engagement. Luna uses her body as a territory to question and comment on social and political phenomena.  Born in Mexico City, Luna obtained her graduate degree in Acting from the Centro Universitario de Teatro UNAM. She has performed and taught workshops extensively throughout Latin America, Europe, USA, and Canada. She is a member of The Magdalena Project: International Network of Women in Contemporary Theatre, and associate artist of the San Francisco-based performance collectives La Pocha Nostra and Secos & Mojados.
