A woman questions herself - and she questions, interrogates, entertains, thrills and surprises us. Alone with her secret, she moves in and out of her own life, which is somehow also ours. She reproaches, accepts, rejects, seeks and converses with her past. Guilty or innocent, from the psychoanalyst’s couch to the preacher of fashion, there is debate amidst a world where prejudices drown better dreams.

That Crazy Joan
written and performed by
Juana Estrella
directed by
Pablo Aguirre Andrade
It was always thought - and still is - that there is no greater madness than to talk to oneself. In theater, this madness is called a
"monologue." Today we have before us history’s three best-known and/or most famous Joans: Joan of Arc, Joanna the Mad of Castile and Pope Joan. These three important historical figures will be portrayed in a serious and praiseworthy piece of work by our own present-day
Joan - "Star Joan" (Juana Estrella) – who with her immense and
wild sense of humor will demonstrate for us in true comedic
fashion that she’s not Joanna the Mad, but "THAT CRAZY JOAN."

Alone on the Moors of Castille, three female comedians (popular actresses) discover that their director has died. Far from anywhere and with a sense that they are being threatened from all directions, they ask themselves: What do we do with the dead man? Speaking in a made-up language, they describe with words of Golden-Age beauty everything about how it feels to exist in the present that surrounds and shows itself to us.

Pablo Razuk
"Vegetal" seeks to provide a glimpse
- humorously - at human beings, their use of time, and the links between them. As Seneca said:
"It’s not that we have too little time, it’s just that we waste so much of it."
"Vegetal" speaks about the importance of the present, about what
is wanted, what is feared, what is kept hidden, and what is
disguised in life.

Micky Thomas
Signs are beginning to appear that the end is at hand... In this
"terrible and naughty" production, fiction and reality are turned into an interesting allegory about the destiny of a Caribbean island.
With the use of comedy and facts, this play exposes students the harsh realities of this ever-so present issue. It enforces the
"cons" of bullying and reinforces all the "pros" of being buddies.
Sweet Miss Lettuce and her uncle Mr. Cucumber teach us that we can fight the evil Mrs. Laziness, discovering a world of good nutrition that, along with exercise, allows us to live happily and healthfully.
The interpretation and stage direction of Claudio Rivera is based on the book by Juan Ramón Jiménez [Nobel Prize in Literature] and celebrates the 100th anniversary of its publication. Joy and innocence go hand in hand in this production, sowing seeds of friendship and tenderness.
