As part of the “Cultural Thursdays” the Evangelical University of El Salvador, hosted the International Puppet Festival El Salvador, so, on March 14 was held the presentation of puppets “A coffee with Mariano”, this assembly has had multiple participations, for example: Festivals: San Giacomo Puppet (Italy) – Titiritlán (Guatemala) – Contattiteres (Rome) – Mercantia Festival (Certaldo, Italy) among others. Mariano, the main character of the play, will take us through the history of the café through his conflicts and those of the actor. With the dualism between the human being and the puppet being, each one fighting with his possibilities and weaknesses for a verbal confrontation of play and looks. A magical dualism that will take us from classical philosophy to neighborhood philosophy in a two-way game with interventions from the audience. Surreal or real tragicomic situations. Showing us different visions of real situations according to the points of view and how in the end being is just being. This activity was attended by students of the Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and the UEES theater cast, these activities facilitate the approach of the student population with different artistic expressions.
