University theatre to raise the voice of animal rights

## University theatre to raise the voice of animal rights

'De bèsties i bestioles' is the latest production of the University of Valencia theatre group ASSAIG.

ASSAIG, the Theatre Group of the University of Valencia opens the regular programme of the Performing Arts Club for the next two months with the premiere of the play ‘De bèsties i bestioles’, by Sara Acàmer and Pep Sanchis on May 3, 4 and 5 at the Matilde Salvador of the Centre Cultural la Nau hall (7 p.m.).

According to the artistic director and co-author, **Pep Sanchis**, “the main characters of the stories are not very well known animals that are part of our lives and our closest landscapes; and in this play they are the ones that speak and explain their experiences, fears and hopes”. “We have dared to give them a voice and to imagine what they would think of those strange creatures that take and transform everything to their own interest”, point out the authors.

ASSAIG’s new staging will give the green light to the programme, which will run through June 15 and will be devoted entirely to university theatre and dance.

All performances will start at 7 p.m. at the Matilde Salvador de La Nau hall and the tickets can be booked in advance at La Tenda or on its website. The price is 2 euros per ticket.
