On March 27th, the Teatro Principal de Almansa will celebrate World Theatre Day. Following the success of last year, local theater companies have decided to repeat the experience, adding new additions to the theatrical proposal.
The Councilor for Culture, together with representatives from each of the companies, presented the event at a press conference highlighting the importance of collaboration among the different groups. «Last year, we set out to commemorate this day in a special way and we succeeded with great success. This year we are repeating it with more enthusiasm and new additions,» said Alberto López, director of Alma Teatro.
This year, the event will feature the participation of five theater groups: Almateatro, Arte Escénico, Tablas Teatro, Puntos Suspendidos, and Monteatro. Each of these companies will offer a piece of microtheater, a format that was very successful in the previous edition. Additionally, Monteatro, a group from Montealegre, is joining for the first time with a highly relevant play.
This year’s theater proposals:
Each group will present a representative piece of their work:
– Almateatro: «The Persians» by Aeschylus and «La casa de la fuerza» by Angélica Liddell.
– Arte Escénico y Musical: «A Good Lawyer» by Marc Egea.
– Tablas Teatro: «Confidencias de mujer» by J. L. Alonso de Santos.
– Puntos Suspendidos: «Ana and Alejandro’s Wedding» by Cía. Animalario.
– Monteatro: «A Comedy That Never Ends» by Max Aub.
In addition to the theatrical performances, there will be the traditional reading of the World Theatre Day Manifesto, a text commissioned to a renowned playwright that is read in theaters around the world. «This year, the author in charge of writing it is a Greek playwright, whose name is somewhat difficult to pronounce, but whose reflection on theater will be a fundamental part of our celebration,» said the organizers.
From the City Council, the Councilor for Culture expressed gratitude to all the companies for their involvement in this initiative and encouraged the public to attend: «It’s a unique opportunity to enjoy local talent and the magic of theater on a special day.»
The event will take place on Wednesday, March 27th at 8:00 p.m. at the Teatro Principal de Almansa, a meeting where theater will once again become a space of unity and creativity for all lovers of the performing arts.
