The play competes in the category of experiences and practices, alongside productions from more than twenty Mexican entities. The event will be held at venues such as the Teatro de Cámara Pamela Jiménez at UAQ’s Faculty of Arts and is organized by the federal Secretariat of Culture and the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura in coordination with the state culture secretariat.
