A Brief History

In February 2020, Jesai with partner Andrea Prado acquired a lease on the property in San Mateo, Alajuela, Costa Rica that includes an amphitheater, dormitories, a house, bathrooms, and areas for the public to gather and eat. Unfortunately, as the world closed for pandemic reasons, projects had to be postponed. Nevertheless, Teatro de la Tierra was able to launch its first production in 2021.

The results exceeded expectations, both artistically and strategically. Although the attendance (20 to 30 people per performance) was small, the appreciation was notable. Representatives of major theatre institutions and the arts sector attended and were extremely supportive of the project.

There is no doubt that support for the project was present on a national scale. All were interested to see the concept develop. The theater received news that it received a grant from Proartes to present an adaptation of Animal Farm by George Orwell in November 2021.

Students have an opportunity to experience this performance live.

In an immersive production that is characteristic of Teatro de la Tierra, audiences find themselves in the middle of the action.

The book is on suggested reading lists for teenage students in North America, Europe and parts of Latin America.

There is a study guide to help teachers inspire their students and to think critically about their lives.

“Town meetings” are held after each performance to share insights of the attendees.
