The play ‘¿Sabéis Que No Voy a Estudiar?’ (Do You Know That I’m Not Going to Study?), written and directed by Brother Ángel González, premiered on 17 January in Maracaibo, Venezuela, after a year of hard work that included the creation of the script, the preparation of the cast and multiple rehearsals. The narrative centres on the arrival of the Marist brothers in the city a century ago and the fundamental role they played in helping a family that was struggling to provide their children with a safe environment in which to study and achieve their dreams.
The play intertwines two stories that share a common goal: to highlight the value of education and its transformative impact on families. This performance is part of a series of activities organised to commemorate the Marist centenary in Venezuela, underlining the commitment to comprehensive, quality education for the country’s children and young people.
The artistic group, made up of 20 students from the E.T. Hno. Idelfonso Gutiérrez, will continue its programme of performances, not only in Maracaibo, but also in other cities where the Marist order is present in the country.
