It could have been just an ordinary day. Even at UIC Barcelona. But it was not, because the students of the Experience Campus made it special. One day they came up with an idea: why don't we put on a play? Said and done. They were just missing the theme, a script, and a director. “It was a real honour that they came to me to ask for help”, said Elena Santa María, a Campus collaborator, who wrote and directed Un robo brillante (‘A brilliant robbery’).

Months of preparation. Interrupted by a pandemic. Masks: surgical, not theatrical! Rehearsals. Without “omicrons” that get in the way… no matter what… misunderstandings and oversight. And nerves. Especially on what could have been just another ordinary day: last Thursday, 3 March, at 7 p.m. in the evening.

It was a special day, full of smiling faces. More than one hundred people attended the first and only performance, for now. And of course, of loud laughter, which also had a place in this comedy, where all of Eugenia's neighbours were answering questions from Commissioner Gallardo. And from Inspector Romero, who longed to start a job like this.

Indeed, 3 March could have been a normal day. But it wasn't. Because the fifteen actors from the Experience Campus enjoyed it like never before. And the audience, who gave them a standing ovation, had a great time.

For them, for the director and scriptwriter and for everyone else who made it possible.
