The work that explores human existentialism from fears and desires

The Guatemalan actress Brenda Santizo promotes art in the country and for more than 25 years of uninterrupted career, she continues to create spaces to praise national talent.

The theater producer and director has also participated in more than 70 works and with her creativity, she has obtained different recognitions and her work has been presented in different cultural venues.

Currently promoting The last worda work that, as he explained, connects the viewer with all aspects of his life and reminds us that all people feel fear, insecurity and pain, at different times in life. In addition, he indicated that it is good to go through those feelings, which give value to what really adds up and helps us be more human.

“Instead of trying to meet unattainable ideals, we must learn to value our authenticity and value our emotions, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. Emotional intelligence is frequently devalued, but it is important for the personal and functional growth of the human being,” said Santizo.

Synopsis

The last word is an original work of post-modern theater, which shows the existentialism of human beings, through their fears, desires, and how complex human interaction is. The story montage invites the viewer to analyze and evaluate what is really worth it.

The work is a combination of theater, contemporary dance, and synchronous movements in a post-modern theater text that seeks to generate analysis and reflection in the public.

According to Santizo, post-modern theater raises questions instead of giving answers and leaves the viewer a series of possibilities that depend on their own perspective.

“This type of theater inherits techniques from contemporary dance, it also raises the self-sufficient corporality of its elements. Through this type of themes we open a space to address complex issues such as self-love, and exposing that accepting that we are not well at certain moments is not a sign of weakness, on the contrary, it is an act of courage and self-care,” he added.
