Colisiones en la Alianza Francesa de Miraflores

On a traffic-filled morning in northern Lima, the lives of a student, a traffic officer, a fare collector, and a combi minibus driver will cross paths in an unexpected event that will irreversibly transform their destinies.

Colisiones, written and directed by Eduardo Ríos Cañamero, is one of the five winning works of the III Call for Support of the Performing Arts and Music by UPC 2025, which earned it a run at the Alianza Francesa de Miraflores 2026. This staging brings together a talented cast made up of Piero Rodríguez, Christian Ramírez, Jiro de la Vega, and Wedner Velásquez, who will bring to life a profoundly human and social story, set in an urban context that reflects the tensions, contradictions, and fragilities of our everyday coexistence.

About the play Inspired by the physical concept of collision and by the complex problem of traffic accidents, the play offers a critical reflection on the social dynamics of cities marked by chaos, individualism, and a lack of empathy.

Colisiones has been recognized for its artistic quality and thematic relevance. In this fourth season in 2026, the play returns after a three-year run with performances at the national and international level and several accolades that establish it as one of the most important stage projects of the Peruvian theater scene.

Accolades Winner of the 3rd Cultural Projects Contest of the PUCP Office of Cultural Affairs 2023. Official selection of the WE:NOW Madrid International Arts Festival 2024.

Official selection of the I Conera Culture Arts Festival 2025. Winner of the III Call for Support of the Performing Arts and Music 2025 by UPC Cultural.
