This project involves the production and staging of a satirical street play titled “Huérfanos de la Patria” in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima’s most populous vulnerable district. The play uses humor to portray the story of a transport worker confronted by a double-standard politician using religious rhetoric, aiming to promote critical thinking and civic education ahead of upcoming general and municipal elections. It will be executed through seven live performances, educational matchbox distribution with QR codes, and
digital amplification reaching online audiences.

Problem/Issue:

Political candidates frequently exploit vulnerable voters in San Juan de Lurigancho using political clientelism and conservative religious rhetoric during election periods.

No. of Beneficiaries: 1350

Impact:

The street play will reach 700 live attendees and 4,000 online viewers to build critical awareness of political manipulation, reduce stigma against non-believers, and empower citizens to demand accountability from local authorities.
