Exciting News! Silvita has been selected for the Made in Chicago Residency, a collaborative initiative of Pivot Arts, the Wirtz Center, Destinos Festival, and the Physical Theater Festival.

Through this residency, Ellas y Yo: Mexicanas will make its world premiere this fall!

This original dance-theater work weaves together the stories of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the groundbreaking 17th-century scholar and poet; Frida Kahlo, the iconic painter whose art transformed personal pain into creative power; and Silvita, a contemporary Mexican-American artist navigating identity, migration, motherhood, and belonging. Through dance, physical theater, bilingual text, music, and multimedia, the work celebrates the resilience, creativity, and enduring legacy of Mexican women across generations.
