MADRID, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Peru took center stage at the 3rd edition of the Talía Awards, held on May 12 at the Teatro Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa in Madrid. Organized by the Academy of Performing Arts of Spain, under the leadership of President Cayetana Guillén-Cuervo and First Vice President Eduardo Galán Font, the prestigious gala honors excellence in Ibero-American theater. This year, Peru was honored prominently for its artistic excellence and cultural presence. Celebrated Peruvian actress, director, and producer Ana María Estrada, head of Dakini Productions, who currently serves as President of the Hispanic Organization of Latin Actors (HOLA) in New York, participated as an official presenter at the ceremony. She was joined by award-winning Peruvian producer Carlos Arana, together amplifying the visibility of Peruvian performing arts on one of the most important platforms in the Spanish-speaking theater world. Three Peruvian theatrical productions were selected as finalists in the category Best Latin American Performing Arts Production, which recognizes Spanish-language theater produced outside Europe: "Cisnes", directed by Alberto Ísola, a poetic exploration of transformation. "Discurso de Promoción", a collective work by the iconic group Yuyachkani, directed by Miguel Rubio, addressing themes of memory and identity. "La Mariscala", co-directed by Mateo Chiarella and Lucho Tuesta, focusing on the historical figure Francisca Zubiaga de Gamarra.

Hiroshima atomic bomb survivors' experiences depicted in stage play in Brazil
A group including survivors of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima has performed a stage play in Brazil based on their experiences, highlighting the importance of peace. The group performed in Portuguese in Sao Paulo on Saturday. The play was based on accounts of three survivors, who emigrated to the South American country after the end of World War Two. One act told the story of 84-year-old Bonkohara Kunihiko, who was exposed to radiation from the bombing when he was 5. It depicted what areas near ground zero were like right after the attack, including how numerous people wandered in search of water. Another act was based on the testimony of Morita Takashi, who died last year at the age of 100. He had been a leading member of the group. An actor of Japanese descent played Morita's part this year. The group first performed in 2013. It currently faces difficulty as survivors are advanced in age. But it says it wants to continue holding the events. A local audience member in her 20s called the play "incredible." She said she believes it is important to not forget the bombing by listening to survivors share their experiences. Bonkohara said he wants people to think about how to realize a world without war.
