28th University Theater Fortnight

Synopsis: A family gathers to share a seemingly peaceful dinner... but what begins as an everyday gathering soon turns into a feast of reproaches, secrets, and absurd situations. Between dishes that grow cold and words that grow heated, each member reveals their true colors, mixing humor, irony, and a touch of tenderness.

Luis Esteso presents us with a comedy of family entanglements, where everyday life becomes a mirror of the universal: the tensions, differences, and love that (despite everything) keep the family together.

A lively, relatable, and entertaining play that shows that in every home—no matter how ordinary it may seem—there is always something simmering on the stove.

Cast:
Juan Miguel Botía — Father
Beatriz Sainz de Varanda — Mother
Beatriz Gómez — Waitress

Synopsis: What would a perfect gentleman do if he discovered that his destiny was not so perfect after all? Lord Arthur Savile, a young man with an impeccable education and a promising marriage, sees his peaceful life disrupted by a disturbing revelation. Determined to preserve his honor and future happiness, he will make a series of decisions guided by his practical sense of duty.

Between the elegance of London salons and the absurdity of good intentions, Oscar Wilde invites us to a black comedy of exquisite manners and dubious morals. Lord Arthur Savile's Crime transforms Victorian morality into a delightful paradox: when doing good becomes the most refined way of doing wrong.

Synopsis: In the ruthless ecosystem of North Shore High School, Cady Heron, a girl who has just arrived from Africa, faces the most dangerous jungle of all: American high school. Innocent at first, Cady is recruited by "The Plastics," the most popular and feared group in school, led by the charismatic (and manipulative) Regina George.

Amid gossip, betrayals, and plans for revenge, Cady will discover that being "popular" can cost much more than dignity... and that true friendship is not measured by likes or appearances.

Based on the iconic film written by Tina Fey, Mean Girls is a sharp and funny satire about adolescence, identity, and social pressure, where laughter coexists with a scathing critique of the culture of bullying and superficiality.

Synopsis: In a world where passion burns stronger than reason, two families divided by old wounds prepare for a wedding destined to seal the peace... or unleash tragedy.

Amidst dry fields and knives that seem to breathe, the forbidden love between the Bride and Leonardo rekindles a fire that is impossible to contain.

Lorca immerses us in poetry of flesh and earth, where life and death dance together, and destiny—relentless and beautiful—dictates its final verse.

The Mutis University Company for the Forum reinterprets this classic with a youthful, vibrant, and critical perspective, exploring the human impulses that still beat beneath the surface today: desire, guilt, and the desperate search for freedom. A theatrical ritual where the past breathes in the present and blood, symbol of life, also becomes destiny. "Blood Wedding": the immortal echo of a passion that neither time nor reason could contain.

Synopsis: Two con artists arrive in a town claiming to possess an altarpiece on which they perform a magic show whose figures can only be seen by those who are neither Jewish nor bastards.

The local authorities—represented by the Mayor, the Governor, the Notary, and the Councilman—hire them for a private function.

During the performance, the swindlers lead gullible spectators to believe that, where there is nothing, the most absurd figures appear.

Finally, a soldier intervenes and declares that he cannot see any figures. They mock him, but he reacts by hitting them, and the interlude ends in a brawl.

Synopsis: Beneath the majestic corridors and halls of the Paris Opera, a mysterious being dwells in the shadows: the Phantom, a musical genius with a hidden face who lives between beauty and horror. His obsession with the young soprano Christine Daaé will lead him to cross the boundaries between love and madness, between music and eternal silence.

In this tale of passion, mystery, and tragedy, Gaston Leroux weaves a novel where the sublime and the monstrous coexist in perfect harmony. A timeless classic that reminds us that sometimes, the real ghost is the impossible desire to be loved.
