Events 2009

^{The play “Quien, yo?”put on by the scholarship students of Oportunidad Educativa in Teatro Real was a total success}

More than four hundred spectators filled the seats of Teatro Real, the second largest theater in Córdoba. Laughter and applause filled the theater. The event took place on Wednesday, September 2nd.

 

It was scheduled to start at nine pm but people began to arrive early and a long line formed, reaching the corner of San Jerónimo and Buenos Aires.

The seats were filled; many by spectators who did not know the students but had decided to come through their own intuitive. There were also the German volunteers of the project SVE, the participants of the High School Exchange Program of 2009, directors and business people of local organizations, sponsors, media, people from Córdoba´s theater scene, workers of COINED international and of coarse the family and friends of the student who had not had the opportunity to see they other plays that they had presented. (Centro Cultural Medida x Medida y Centro Cultural Galileo) 

Around nine fifteen, Enrique Helmbrecht, the Director of COINED International, began the play with some words of welcome and by thanking everyone for coming especially the secretary of culture of Córdoba, for allowing them to present the play in Teatro Real. He also thanked the students, volunteers and members of the Oportunidad Educativa program for all of their work. Later they played a short movie about the project and finally the play began. 

The performance of the scholarship students was magnificent.
They had good stage presence, which made it impossible to believe that they were not professional actors and had never been in front of a live audience, especially one of this size. It is hard to describe the emotions and happiness that this performance produced. They were very proud of themselves and happy that then had presented the play so well. The comments that they received from the public were very positive. Everyone enjoyed themselves from start to finish.

Hey, what are all the blond people doing here?

Aldana Buendía (student): “It was an unforgettable experience and was very different from what we are used to. It would be good to keep in contact. We communication well and had a lot of fun…It was awkward at first but when we got into groups and had the courage to talk and communicate, it was fun”

Domínguez Jorge (student): “The experience was positive for us because everyone from different countries was able to connect. We had a lot of fun and even though we didn’t know each other this opportunity allowed us to understand people from different places."
