Semana Santa en La Laguna
About this event
The celebration of Semana Santa en La Laguna is one of the Archipelago's most traditional religious and cultural manifestations. Across several days, visitors have the opportunity to appreciate the rich and varied religious heritage the City possesses. During Semana Santa, processions formed by pasos of incalculable historical and artistic value take place, which together with the cofradías traverse the most emblematic streets in a display of authentic popular fervor. These pasos are examples of the imaginería and orfebrería that developed in the Islands and beyond over the last five centuries. Special significance attaches to the acts celebrated on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. On Maundy Thursday, it is worth noting the opening of the chapels of the temples in order to show the Eucharistic monuments, true jewels of island goldsmithing. Good Friday is notable for the Procesión Magna, which takes place at five in the afternoon, and comprises the set of pasos and cofradías that traverse the City starting from the Santa Iglesia Catedral. Likewise, at twenty-two hours the Procesión del Silencio is held, which brings together the penitential brotherhoods and cofradías accompanying the Dead Lord, also from the Santa Iglesia Catedral to the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, amid the attendees' deep reverence.
- 17:00 Procesión Magna — route from the Santa Iglesia Catedral, with the pasos and cofradías that traverse the city from the Santa Iglesia Catedral.
- 22:00 Procesión del Silencio — from the Santa Iglesia Catedral to the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, accompanying the Dead Lord, amid the attendees' deep reverence.

Play La Maleta by José Pedro Hernández
Synopsis
“La maleta” reflects on the forced migration that many people around the world have suffered and continue to suffer. With a contemporary perspective, it tells from the perspective of its characters the reality of the emigrant. Different people, different motives, but always one thread: the search for freedom.
With the poem by Pedro Lezcano as the narrative axis, the play traverses the different causes for which people have to leave their land and seek other places where they can be what they have not been able to be.
The center of the proposal is a giant suitcase that will gradually transform into the spaces necessary to tell each of the stories. An original work that brings its staging to the street to be performed, seeking proximity to the audience and making them participate in this proposal
Schedule: From 20:00 to 21:00 hours. All audiences. Free admission.

- SYNOPSIS: Buenos Aires 2010. Héctor Kessler, a retired military doctor, lives his retirement by making homemade perfumes as a hobby. His two children, now independent, visit him frequently with the aim of pulling him out of his confinement. At the same time, Sofía Timmerman appears, a woman belonging to the so-called “grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo”, who start a new campaign to locate the children who were stolen during the military dictatorship of General Videla, in the late 1970s. Both stories intertwine and converge, drastically changing the lives of their protagonists. The past regains importance, and we will try to discover what is true and what is false in this small story of anonymous beings, but as real as the tragedy they themselves have endured.
