"For us it was very important to transfer all the theater that we knew conventionally to digital and that, taking care of the healthy distance and the health of the whole production ... we have been very highly recognized as the best digital production," says Daniel Padilla, professor of the representative group of UP Theater.
The play "Proceso por la sombra de un burro", a tropicalized adaptation by the representative theater group of the Art and Culture department of the Universidad Panamericana, Campus Guadalajara, is a finalist in the 28th International Theater Festival of the UNAM (FITU) competing with 72 other groups.
About the play
"Process by the Shadow of a Donkey, is a fresh, modernized and funny play that combines elements of ancient Greece with modern problems and very comical solutions.
Aimed at family audiences, it is definitely a play that no one can miss", Paola Huerta, student of the School of Communication and producer of the project.
The department premiered its season virtually on April 20, 21 and 22, where Panamericana students and external students were able to watch the theatrical adaptation from their computers.
