Hola Jen
You could also say "que sería representado" and the meaning won't change much. But using the progressive tense would emphasise the progression of the action; that would be the nuance. In our lesson about using passive with progressive tenses, we add a note by the end of the lesson where we explain that in some cases some progressive tenses don't have an equivalent in English. This would be one of those cases. Have a look: Forming the passive voice with progressive tenses (passive voice)
I hope this helps.

"que estaria siendo representado..." Is it possible to say instead "que seria representado..." ? What would be the difference between the two? (Sorry for the lack of accents).
