The acclaimed contemporary play "La mala clase," penned by Luis Barrales, is set to reopen at Teatro UC, featuring Catalina Saavedra in the lead role. The production aims to reignite discussions surrounding the crisis in public education.

This new season of the play will run from July 11 to August 8, with performances scheduled from Thursday to Saturday at 7:30 PM in the Sala Eugenio Dittborn at Teatro UC. The narrative unfolds in the tense moments before a graduation ceremony. Four students facing the possibility of repeating the year confront their teacher, pushing her to the limit as they demand their high school diplomas. This confrontation ignites a clash between the teacher's collective idealism and the students' desperate individualism.

Alongside Saavedra, the cast includes Javiera Cayupán, Aníbal Gutiérrez, David Crovari, and Felipe Corrales. Directed by Melchor Pino, tickets for the production are currently available for purchase through the Ticketplus system and at the theater's box office.
