From the Middle of the World: Theater for Everyone! Humor and comedy, Magic for the whole family, Romantic music, Boleros, a tribute to Julio Jaramillo.
removes the mask from society and makes it laugh at itself. A portrait of Ecuadoran idiosyncrasy as seen through a long-running newspaper... this look at news coverage by LA ESCOBA (translation: THE BROOM) offers a light-hearted depiction of an era that older people will remember and younger people will discover. An epic-comic parade of that history that makes us what we are. Anyone who doesn’t laugh ... isn’t Ecuadoran!

the woman erased
written & directed by
Viviana Cordero
I am Mary Magdalene...
Said to have been the companion and wife of Christ, to have been misunderstood, badly viewed, erased and hidden. To feel judged and sentenced. A profound reflection upon life and death, upon the acts that produced an existential change in humanity.

Speaking of Magic and Illusion...
The dictionary says:
Magic: that which through natural means creates effects that seem supernatural. The charm and/or attraction with which something creates delight.
Illusion: prestidigitation (sleight of hand),
transmutation (actor).
Reality says:
Magic-Magician (male and female): is the one who, with what he or
she earns, makes it to the end of the month.
Everyone says:
Magic-Illusion has only one name: JUAN ESTRELLA and his show!
