La Paz, Baja California Sur.- The play “Salvatierra Hospital, history, drama and legend” filled the public of La Paz with terror, suspense and laughter this afternoon, with the Casa de Cultura del Estado de Baja California Sur as the venue. Experiences from the place were told.

The play shocked the spectators. They experienced first-hand the events that occurred when the Salvatierra hospital was in operation.

The play begins from outside. The actors invite the public to come in and take them on a tour of the place; room by room, taking them into the past with their performance.

For more than 1 hour, with dim lights and scenery from the time, the golden age of the Juan María de Salvatierra hospital was revived.

Scenes of nurses preparing for births are shown, who with little or many utensils carried out the births, everything they talked about is recounted; horror stories are told about ghosts that appeared.

The play mentions a large number of famous and well-known doctors from the past in the city. It shows what the director of the hospital was like, with a personality of that time.

Carmelita López, one of the spectators, commented: “I shuddered when the ghost of the nun took the dead child to his father.”

The audience entered what was the autopsy room, a place full of mystery. The actor said the phrase, “it is said that you have to wait a while before doing the autopsy so that the body assimilates its new condition.”

Among the attendees, “how scary” was heard. In later scenes, the ghost of the nun, gives that living body to her father.

The play also shows and describes the area where they had people with mental illnesses and some who were not, but who were there. At two points in the play, a circus act was presented that was very much in keeping with the theme.
