The first performance will be performed by Ana Jigi Art, with her work ¿Tafé Fanga? Le Pouvoir Du Pagne? , presented in the Alberto Ravara room of the Herman Létjer Theater Center in Guanare. This emblematic stage will witness three unmissable shows: on Wednesday the 16th the Iranian group Yaser Khaseb will perform with their play Gift Mysteries or, and on Sunday the 20th La Franja Teatral de Cuba will bring to the stage the production Ana: People are looking at the blood.
