The area's only international theater festival! As always, this year's festival combines the vibrancy and sauciness of the New World with the introspection and avant-garde of the Old.
Love through the art of the Word... Love, humor and drama
are self agitating in a spectacular piece entrusted totally to
the power of the Word, to two masterful Voices: Beatrix
Massons and Taco Larreta, two superb Uruguayan
interpreters.

Robinson Crusoe as he learns to overcome severe obstacles and adversities
while reaffirming such values as friendship and cooperation This highly
imaginative piece is so much fun you’ll forget you’re learning!

laugh at these actors’ light-hearted antics, where jokes have profound
innocence and comments turn out tenderly in an exquisite variety show.
