Student artistic expression once again reshaped everyday spaces at Universidad del Sagrado Corazón with the second presentation of La Mudanza, an interdisciplinary collective that brought microtheater to nontraditional settings across campus.
In the days leading up to World Theatre Day, a total of 44 students from diverse academic backgrounds—including theater, film, advertising, fashion, journalism, music, and creative writing—presented five micro-plays: Monotonía, Dos versiones, Máscaras, Mi primer encuentro, and Nunca más un almuerzo. Each piece, approximately 15 minutes long, was written, directed, and performed by the students themselves, reinforcing the collaborative and self-managed nature of the project.
The initiative, developed in collaboration with the School of Arts, Design, and Creative Industries (EADIC, per its Spanish acronym) and directed by Theater student Kelvin D. Horta Díaz, emerged as a student effort that allows participants to explore both the artistic and entrepreneurial dimensions of cultural production, aligning with Sagrado’s educational philosophy of “learning by doing.”
According to Horta Díaz, the collective—founded in August 2025—has evolved since its first presentation at the university residences, where it drew more than 100 attendees and exceeded daily capacity. “The dynamic for each piece begins with the selection of a specific space on campus. From that location, a title is chosen and the piece is written,” he explained, highlighting how the physical environment becomes a central element in the creative process.
Beyond the performances, La Mudanza represents a comprehensive exercise in both professional and artistic development. The participation in this project demonstrates how the university fosters experiences that extend beyond the classroom, enabling students to develop skills in creation, management, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Looking ahead, the collective aims to expand its reach to larger venues and continue establishing itself within the arts industry. They also seek to explore new platforms such as theatrical competitions, broadening their opportunities for growth and visibility.
Through initiatives like this, Sagrado reaffirms its commitment to innovative education, where practice, experimentation, and creativity serve as pillars of student development.
