Image: Now we enter the convent's old chapel. Now this space has been turned into a performing arts theater complete with stage, projection equipment (behind the photographer), and lighting equipment. Interestingly, a copy of the famous portrait of Sor Juana is located above what was once a baroque high altar (altar mayor). A single floodlamp illuminates the canvas. The interior is dark because the chapel had and has few windows, and, when the photo was taken, the only light was from the overhead floodlamp.
Humanities questions: Describe the Baroque aspects of the little that remains of the seventeenth-century altar. What do you think of the combination of uses of this old space (contemporary theater, baroque musem of a former convent, memorial for Sor Juana)?
