“Tres Vidas” is the first of its kind on campus

“Tres Vidas”, or “Three Lives”, will be per­formed here on cam­pus by Core Ensemble.

“Tres Vidas” will be in Williams Auditorium on Wed., Sept. 30 from 7p.m. to 9p.m. The per­for­mance is free and all stu­dents and com­mu­nity mem­bers are wel­come to attend.

The Diversity Office, through the “Diversity Mini-Grant Program”, has brought “Tres Vidas” to cam­pus. It is being co-sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Student Services, Hispanic Heritage Month Planning Committee, and Student Leadership.

“Tres Vidas” is a music the­ater pro­duc­tion based on the lives of three leg­endary Latin American women includ­ing a painter, peas­ant activist, and poet. The story offers dra­matic sit­u­a­tions and com­pelling emo­tions to all audi­ences, accord­ing to core​-ensem​ble​.cc. It was writ­ten by award-winning writer Margorie Agostin and is being directed by Matthew Wright.

Because this is a live per­for­mance, the audi­ence will view tra­di­tional clothes, music, and danc­ing. The music ranges from Mexican folk and Argentinian tango to instru­men­tal work.

This is the first time an event like this has been brought to cam­pus. According to Natalia Carvalho-Pinto, Recruiting Officer, the Hispanic Heritage Month Planning Committee believes it is a great accom­plish­ment to bring an event with this cal­iber to cam­pus. They are proud to bring some­thing to cam­pus that offers music, the­ater, and edu­ca­tional con­tent all at the same time.

Lori Spitler, FSU stu­dent major­ing in Architectural Technology, thinks the show will give stu­dents a greater under­stand­ing about a dif­fer­ent kind of cul­ture and lifestyle.

“We believe that this event pro­vides a sig­nif­i­cant and fun learn­ing expe­ri­ence that our stu­dents and com­mu­nity don’t nor­mally expe­ri­ence in a class­room set­ting,” said Carvalho-Pinto.

The actors and musi­cians will be avail­able for pic­tures and inter­views after the performance.
