The Paraninfo of the University of La Laguna is hosting two cultural events this weekend: a play about the life and poetry of Emily Dickinson and a Canary Islands humor gathering to mark the 25th anniversary of Alumni ULL.

The program begins on Friday, September 18, at 8:30 PM, with the play ‘Emily, enclosed poetry. The Dickinson’. This production blends theater, poetry, and music to delve into the life of the renowned American writer Emily Dickinson, portrayed by actress Griselda Ponce. The performance explores key episodes of her life, her relationships, her literary creation, her emotions, her connection with nature and death, and her fear of her writings never being published.
The play is accompanied by music from accordionist Sofía Garal, who embodies Susan Gilbert, Dickinson's close friend and lover. The performance, recommended for ages 11 and up, has a general admission price of 10 euros.

"Humor allows us to discuss practically any subject."
