Both shows are part of the summer offering of the ULS Extension Directorate. 

Who killed eight? The title is the entertaining plot that brings this new work of educational theater that, since last summer, left all the minors who were able to witness a preview intrigued and expectant. The premiere of this work, plus an attractive concert of Latin American music, performed by the Chamber Orchestra of the University of La Serena, are part of the attractive summer activities organized by the Extension Directorate of this house of higher education. 

The educational play “Who Killed the Eight?” will be presented on Thursday, January 22 at 19:30 p.m., with a general admission of $2.000. “This play is a comedy, it is a police intrigue that has a lot of humor. Number eight is found dead, it is later concluded that he was murdered and in the play it is revealed who the murderer is. The truth is that with the extract that we presented last year, many children were so hooked on the plot that speculation about who the murderer could be began to become a topic of conversation and now comes the long-awaited outcome," said the director of the Étéuls theater cast and creator of the play, Dr. Catalina Cvitanic.

On this occasion, the third pedagogical theater production will address particular topics in mathematics. One of these is number theory, which includes natural numbers, prime numbers, decompositions, prime factors, among others. This is an initiative that has been maintained over time, since it has become a very good pedagogical tool also for teachers during the school period, and according to the director herself, it is also an interesting contribution for the parents who attend during the presentations.

On the other hand, a second and entertaining panorama is the concert “Latin America and its songs”, which will be performed by the Chamber Orchestra of the University of La Serena, under the direction of Celso Torres, which will also have the support of the tenor soloist Gonzalo Tomckowiack.
