Surprised, Mexican nun evangelizing culture
Surprised, is the new show of the chameleon actress Mónica Lleó, which arises from her experience in a school of nuns, where, according to her, they spoiled her quite well.
This atypical nun travels the world with her cultural evangelization campaigns and with her surreal humor she takes us from the place where everything is possible, the theater, to ourselves, to propose us to create our own concept of art, culture, religion. In short, to be free thinkers.
Where: El Almacén, Arrecife.
When: Friday, July 18 at 8:00 p.m.
Tickets at 5 euros.
