Discovering Hebert Axel

Cine Magnífico pays tribute to Hebert Axel González, actor and theater director who, for four decades, dedicated himself to directing and training actors and actresses in Tijuana, Baja California. He left an important legacy in the city and in the hearts of those who knew him. 


We will discover this theater figure thanks to Carlos Corro, producer of the documentary Hebert Axel: vida y pasiones de un teatrero norteño (Hebert Axel: life and passions of a northern theater man). Corro is a founding actor and current director of Compañía del Sótano, an eyewitness to Hebert Axel's work over the course of forty years at the Casa de la Cultura and other theatrical forums in Tijuana.
