Early life[edit]

Moraga was born on September 25, 1952 in Los Angeles County, California.[5] In her article 'La Guera' Moraga wrote of her experiences growing up as a child of a white man and a Hispanic woman, stating that 'it is frightening to acknowledge that I have internalized a racism and classism, where the object of oppression not only someone outside of my skin, but the someone inside my skin.'[6] Moraga has cited her mother as her main inspiration to become a writer, stating that she was an eminent storyteller.[7]

She attended Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles, gaining a graduated bachelor's degree in English in 1974. Soon after attending, she enrolled in a writing class at the Women's Building and produced her first lesbian poems.[5][8] In 1977 she moved to San Francisco where she supported herself as a waitress, became politically active as a burgeoning feminist, and discovered the feminism of women of color. She earned her master's degree in Feminist Writings from San Francisco State University in 1980.[citation needed]

Writing and themes[edit]

Moraga has been credited[by whom?] as one of the few writers to write and introduce the theory of Chicana lesbianism.[citation needed] Themes in her writing include the include the intersections of gender, sexuality, and race, particularly in cultural production by women of color.[9] Moraga's work was featured in tatiana de la tierra's Latina lesbian magazine Esto no tiene nombre, which sought to inform and empower Latina lesbians through the work of writers like Moraga.[9]

Sexuality[edit]

Moraga is openly gay, having come out as a lesbian after her college years. In 'La Guera' Moraga compared the discrimination she experienced as a lesbian to her mother's experiences being a poor, uneducated Hispanic woman, stating that “My lesbianism is the avenue through which I have learned the most about silence and oppression, and it continues to be the most tactile reminder to me that we are not free human beings”.[7] After coming out, Moraga began writing more heavily and became involved with the feminist movement.[citation needed] In Loving in the War Years, Moraga cites Capitalist Patriarchy: A Case for Social Feminism as an inspiration when realizing her intersecting identity as a Chicana lesbian, saying, 'The appearance of these sisters' words in print, as lesbians of color, suddenly made it viable for me to put my Chicana and lesbian self in the center of my movement.'[10]

Career[edit]

Literature and writing[edit]

Moraga co-edited the anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color with Gloria Anzaldúa.[11] The first edition was published in 1981 by Persephone Press.

In 1983 Barbara Smith, Audre Lorde and Moraga started Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press, which has been credited as the first publisher dedicated to the writing of women of color in the United States. Kitchen Table published the second edition of This Bridge Called My Back. In 1986, the book won the Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award for that year.[12] Along with Ana Castillo and Norma Alarcon, Moraga adapted this anthology into the Spanish-language Esta puente, mi espalda: Voces de mujeres tercermundistas en los Estados Unidos.[13] Later that same year Moraga's first sole-authored book, Loving in the War Years: lo que nunca pasó por sus labios, was published.[14]

In 2007 Moraga was named a 2007 USA Rockefeller Fellow and granted $50,000 by United States Artists.[citation needed][15] She won a Creative Work Fund Award in 2008, and the Gerbode-Hewlett Foundation Grant for Playwriting in 2009.[16]

Still Loving in the (Still) War Years[edit]

In 2009 Moraga published the essay “Still Loving in the (Still) War Years: On Keeping Queer Queer', which critiqued the mainstreaming of LGBT politics through an emphasis on same-sex marriage. During the essay she also discussed transgender people in queer communities and critiqued the increasing inclusion of trans issues in LGBT politics. She argues that young people are being pressured into transitioning by the larger queer culture, stating “the transgender movement at large, and plain ole peer pressure, will preempt young people from residing in that queer, gender-ambivalent site for as long and as deeply as is necessary.” (184)[incomplete short citation] Some community members such as Morgan Collado and Francisco Galarte responded by emphasizing how this invalidated and dismissed the lived experience of young people who decide to transition.[17][18] In this essay Moraga goes further to lament what she sees as the loss of butch and lesbian culture to those who choose to transition, stating that she “[does] not want to keep losing [her] macha daughters to manhood through any cultural mandates that are not of our own making.” (186) In response to this, Galarte argued that “Moraga’s text forces transgender folks to bear the burden of proving loyalty to a nation as well as being the figure that is the exemplar of race, sex, and gender abjection and liberation' (131-32)[incomplete short citation].[18] She was also criticized for her refusal to address transwomen in the essay.[citation needed]

Theater[edit]

From 1994 to 2002, Moraga published a couple of volumes of plays through West End Press of Albuquerque, NM.[19] Moraga has taught courses in dramatic arts and writing at various universities across the United States and is currently an artist in residence at Stanford University. She has written and produced numerous theater productions. She is currently involved in a theatre communications group and was the recipient of the NEA Theatre Playwriting Fellowship Award.[12] In 2009 she received a Gerbode-Hewlett foundation grant for play writing.[7][2]

Watsonville: Some Place Not Here

Moraga's 1996 play, Watsonville: Some Place Not Here was commissioned by the Brava Theatre Center with support from the Rockefeller Foundation and had its world premiere at the Brava Theater May 25, 1996. It won the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and was winner of the Fund for New American Plays Award from the Kennedy center for the Performing Arts.[20]

The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea is a play by Cherríe Moraga. The play, published by West End Press,[1] was first written in 1995. It includes aspects of Coatlicue, an Aztec goddess; the play Medea by Euripides; and La Llorona.[2]

Plot[edit]

The Hungry Woman Cherrie Moraga Pdf

A revolution in what was the United States had created separate territories for different racial groups. One territory is now African-American, one territory is now Native American, and another is now Latino and Hispanic. Patriarchies were established and homosexuals were forced to leave many of the areas because of politically conservative counter-revolutions.[1] The setting is a post-apocalyptic future on the border of the current United States and Aztlán, the separate nation carved out for Latinos and Hispanics as well as Native Americans. Aztlán combined elements of both cultures. Medea was exiled because of the patriarchical, anti-homosexual revolution in Aztlán.[2]

Medea, her son Chac-Mool, and her girlfriend live in the border area,[2] around Phoenix, Arizona.[1] Medea's husband Jasón wants to divorce Medea and take her Chac-Mool with him back to Aztlán, where Jasón holds an important place in society.[2]

Characters[edit]

The Hungry Woman By Cherrie Moraga Pdf

Cherrie moraga heroes and saints
  • Medea - The main character, a former revolutionary who was forced into exile. She is bisexual and feminine.[1] She is Luna's lover, Jasón's wife, and mother to teenage son, Chac-Mool. Her character is based on Euripides' Medea.[3]
  • Jasón - Medea's husband, a biracial man who now lives in Aztlán,[1] where he holds an important position.[2] He wants to marry an Apache virgin girl and thus is divorcing Medea.[1]
  • Chac-Mool - Medea's son, a teenager.[1] Chac-Mool is named after a Toltec messenger, Chacmool.[4] Melissa Pareles of the Lambda Book Report describes him as 'rebellious but trusting'.[1] At one point Medea kills Chac-Mool to prevent him from going into Aztlán. Nicole Eschen of the Theatre Journal wrote that at the end, 'Chac-Mool reappears, possibly as a ghost or hallucination, to absolve and cradle Medea as she kills herself.'[5]
  • Luna - Medea's girlfriend, a sculptor.[1] She had taught Chac-Mool about history and heritage, including how to plant corn. Eschen states that Luna is not apologetic about her sexuality, and while Media is in despair, Luna gives 'the voice of reason'.[5] She is not willing to leave Medea.[1] Eschen and Pareles both describe her as 'butch'.[1][5] Pareles states that in the play Luna is 'perhaps the most sympathetic character'.[1]
  • Mama Sal - A grandmother who is a lesbian. Pareles describes Mama Sal as 'the kind cynic who, despite her love for Chac-Mool and Medea, helps Luna leave Medea and Medea carry out her insane plan'.[1]
  • Chihuateo - Four women who had died in childbirth. They provide a chorus.[5]

Production[edit]

By 2006 the play had received several full productions.[2]

The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea has had few productions between the first 1995 production directed by Tony Kelly and the 2006 production at the Leeds Theater at Brown University.[6]

The Brown University Production of The Hungry Woman took place at the Leeds Theater in April 2006. According to the Brown Daily Herald Review, 'Though a recreation of a Greek tragedy, the play includes both humorous scenes such as a girls’ night on the town in a lesbian dance club where the ladies line-dance to a disco remix of “The Hustle” and intense scenes like Medea mourning her son in the confines of a psychiatric hospital, only to be mocked by her doctors' (Barnes).[7]

Angelica del Valle plays Medea, highlighting the emotions behind the battle to keep her son. Luna, Medea's lover, played by Erin Adams gives a sense of romance and evokes the feeling of emotional strain that family conflict can have on a relationship.[7]

Woman

Stanford University's production of The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea took place in May 2005 at the Pigott Theater. Adelina Anthony directed this production. The production included equity actors VIVIS as Medea, Tessa Koning-Martínez as Mama Sal, as well as actors Ronak Kapadia as Jasón, Misha Chowhury as Chac-Mool, and Adelina Anthony as Luna.[8] According to Eschen's performance review, 'The play, from Medea herself to the set design, carried several simultaneous meanings, resonating with various culture' (Eschen).[8]

According to a production review by Nicole Eschen in a Theatre Journal, 'The Hungry Woman furthers Moraga’s explorations of the intersection between aspects of identity, particularly as a Chicana lesbian, but also in relationship to indigenous cultures and motherhood' (Eschen).[8] Adelina Anthony tackles Cherríe Moraga's work and attempts to display the intersection of cultures. Cultures were intertwined in this production. This was heavily seen in the set design. The set had Greek elements, with white marble and traditional architecture. Its shape 'suggested a cave or natural rock setting' according to Eschen. She further mentions that 'Lighting and repositioning of a small rectangular platform transformed this abstract background into various locations such as a lesbian bar and a mental hospital'(Eschen).[8]

This production takes inspiration from Euripides' Medea, but does not mimic it, balancing 'elements of the Greek story with the Mexican La Llorona and the Aztec goddess Coatlicue' (Eschen). VIVIS highlighted Medea's characterization of agony and despair. Eschen writes that VIVIS, 'spent a great deal of the play wandering around the stage in a black slip with a bottle of tequila or confines in a mental institution' (Eschen).[8] During the scene where Medea ultimately makes the decision to kill her son, there is a choreographed dance by Alleluia Panis which 'combined images of birth and death culminating in a Pietà image in which Medea cradled her dead son' (Eschen).[8]

Anthony, playing Luna, Medea's lover, both acted and co-directed the production. Anthony represented the butch lesbian lover, teaching Medea's son Chac-Mool about his heritage and history. Both Anthony and VIVIS utilized 'fairly realistic, traditional Western acting styles'(Eschen).[8] The chorus was costumed in brown body suits, 'which were painted outlines of their breasts' (Eschen)., mimicking the image of tattoos.[8] The women both danced and took on minimal roles such as a nurse, switching their costumes by adding specific identifying pieces. Jasón, 'a cruel South American dictator' (Eschen), was seen as having dark skin, unshaven face, and vaguely military costume.[8] Chac-Mool, Medea and Jasón's son, played by Misha Chowdhury represented a tall and lanky adolescent.
