Given the open-to-interpretation themes “weather” and “mix and match” and 24 hours, students created and performed four plays and one dance at Festival 24, a biannual event which featured the culmination of dozens of Cornell performers’ work this Saturday.
Co-producers Irving Torres-Lopez ’18 and Camilo Reynolds-Dominguez ’20 began recruiting playwrights, actors, dancers, directors, production crew and filmmakers in November and at 7:30 p.m. on Friday announced this year’s theme for writers and choreographers.
For the next 24 hours, the members of Festival 24 worked nonstop to write scripts, lead rehearsals, create sets, costumes and develop lights and music.
The process is “chaotic, nerve-wracking, wild fun,” said Reynolds-Dominguez, who has previously acted in the event.
