World Theater Day 2019 message

Monday, March 11, 2019

We are approaching one more year to such a marked date for the theatrical and artistic community, March 27, and as is tradition, a large number of shows and events take place to celebrate the occasion.

The International Theater Institute ITI has released the World Theater Day Message for 2019, whose author is the stage director, playwright, theater educator and Cuban teacher Carlos Celdrán.

Message for World Theater Day (March 27, 2019)

“Before I woke up in the theater, my teachers were already there. They had built their houses and their poetics on the remains of their own lives. Many of them are not known or are hardly remembered: they worked from the silence, from the humility of their rehearsal rooms and their rooms full of spectators and, slowly, after years of work and extraordinary achievements, they left their place and disappeared . When I understood that my job and my personal destiny would be to follow in their footsteps, I also understood that I inherited from them that heartbreaking and unique tradition of living in the present with no other expectation than to achieve the transparency of an unrepeatable moment. A moment of encounter with the other in the darkness of a theater, with no protection other than the truth of a gesture, of a revealing word.

My theatrical country are those moments of encounter with the spectators who come to our theater night after night, from the most dissimilar corners of my city, to accompany us and share a few hours, a few minutes. With those unique moments I build my life, I stop being myself, I suffer for myself and I am reborn and I understand the meaning of the profession of doing theater: living moments of pure ephemeral truth, where we know that what we say and do, there, under the light of the scene, it is true and reflects the deepest and most personal of us. My theatrical country, mine and that of my actors, is a country woven by those moments where we leave behind the masks, the rhetoric, the fear of being who we are, and we shake hands in the dark.

The tradition of the theater is horizontal. There is no one who can affirm that the theater is in some center of the world, in some privileged city or building. The theater, as I have received it, spans an invisible geography that mixes the lives of those who do it and theatrical craftsmanship in the same unifying gesture. All the theater masters die with their moments of lucidity and unrepeatable beauty, they all disappear in the same way without leaving another significance that protects them and makes them illustrious. Theater masters know this, there is no recognition given to this certainty that is the root of our work: creating moments of truth, ambiguity, strength, and freedom in the greatest precariousness. They will not survive from them but data or records of their work in videos and photos that will collect only a pale idea of what they did. But those silent records will always lack the silent response of the public who understand in an instant that what happens there cannot be translated or found outside, that the truth they share there is an experience of life, for seconds more transparent than life itself.

When I understood that the theater was a country in itself, a great territory that encompasses the entire world, a decision was born in me that is also a freedom: you do not have to move or move from where you are, you do not have to run or move. Where you exist is the public. There are the companions you need by your side. There, outside your house, you have all the daily reality, opaque and impenetrable. You work then from that apparent immobility to build the greatest of trips, to repeat the Odyssey, the journey of the Argonauts: you are a motionless traveler who does not stop accelerating the density and rigidity of your real world. Your journey is towards the moment, towards the moment, towards the unrepeatable encounter in front of your fellow men. Your journey is towards them, towards their heart, towards their subjectivity. You travel inside them, their emotions, their memories that you awaken and mobilize. Your trip is dizzying and nobody can measure it or shut it up. Nor can anyone recognize it in its proper measure, it is a journey through the imaginary of your people, a seed that is sown in the most remote land: the civic, ethical and human consciousness of your spectators. For this reason, I do not move, I continue at home, among my loved ones, in apparent stillness, working day and night, because I have the secret of speed.”

Carlos Celdrán (Cuba)

Pan Pa' Hoy promotes this art in the region

Pan Pa' Hoy, the local cultural association of Tomelloso, every year collaborates in celebrating and promoting the world of theater in and around Tomelloso.

Something that characterizes this association is its commitment to reinvent itself in order to reach the public most reluctant to go to the rooms destined mainly for this art, such as theaters and auditoriums. In this way, this year they propose novelties in their actions in March through a statement from their founder Marí Carmen López.

"To continue with our grain of sand each year and celebrate World Theater Day, there is nothing better than doing it on stage. This year we have news. On Wednesday March 27 there will be a single performance of" Dulce Carolina "by actor Franz Gómez , the price is € 6 and being at the Pan Pa 'Hoy facilities, tickets are limited.

And on Friday, March 29, there will be a double session of Micro theaters in the Memphis room, at 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., at the price of € 5. Capacity is also limited in both sessions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Tickets are sold in advance on the phones listed below on the poster.

We wait for you!!! And don't leave it, there isn't much left either !! 😜😘💐"

Firefighters extinguish an electrical fire in the Teatro Principal

Wednesday, February 27, 2019

Firefighters from the Alicante City Council's Prevention, Extinction and Rescue Service (SPEIS) went to extinguish an electrical fire that took place in the Principal Theater of Alicante on Sunday, February 24, and which originated from a short circuit in the box that regulates the electrical connections that supply the air conditioning equipment. Being a fire retardant material, only smoke was produced.

For security and in compliance with the established protocol, the firewall curtain was lowered. The Councilor for Culture, María Dolores Padilla, has requested an electrical report to assess whether any additional measure is necessary.

This security element, the fire curtain, is of great importance since its function is to prevent the passage of smoke and flame in the event of a fire.

The SPEIS received the notice after 14:15 hours, and two full crews traveled to the scene of the fire with ten firefighters and two patrols from the Alicante Local Police, who coordinated the street cuts and marked the perimeter, evacuating all the people who were inside.

In addition, the mayor of Alicante, Luis Barcala, also went to the Theater to take an interest in the causes of the fire, as it had affected and solved the emergency.

When firefighters arrive at the Theater, they begin to work in two teams to locate the focus of the fire, finding the part of the stage affected by the smoke, but without locating the flames.

According to SPEIS, after locating and extinguishing the focus of the fire, the firefighters worked on the ventilation tasks, and finally the total duration of the intervention was an hour and a half, allowing access to the people who were performing that same afternoon at the Theater.

The importance of proper operation of the firewall curtain allows evacuation with greater guarantee and speed, as well as minimizing material damage. This element facilitated and lightened the function of the firefighters, reducing the incident to a mere hour and a half and allowing the theater to resume its normal activity with a performance that same afternoon.

To guarantee the correct operation of the security elements, a review and maintenance should be carried out periodically by professionals in the sector.

RETOM services is a department that offers its clients a specialized service; To do this, it will carry out an analysis and diagnosis of the state of the equipment and facilities, then it will propose the necessary improvements and the specific preventive maintenance that we can provide to them so that the facilities are safe and efficient.

All the activities carried out by our teams are normally registered with internal management programs.

At Maquiescenic Industries, we want the facilities to continue offering the same levels of safety and good performance as when it was installed.

· The Pay Pay theater cafe will debut this year as the stage of the FIT

· The theatrical contest will begin on October 19 with the dance play 'Amazonas' at the Falla Theater

The XXXIII edition of the Ibero-American Theater Festival of Cádiz (FIT) will kick off on October 19, giving room to a total of 36 performances by 23 international companies, until the 27th in different spaces in the city of Cádiz .

The first Film Festival of 2018 took place on May 7, 8 and 9, with a successful influx because it coincided in the cinema with great premieres such as Avengers: Infinity War, Champions or A quiet place, which were the films more views. Now, the second arrival of cheap cinema will take place in October, and with some great releases.

It will be necessary to register for the offer, already open, and until October 3, although as has happened on previous occasions, some cinemas do not even ask for accreditation and put the price of admission to 2.90 euros to speed up the queues. According to the conditions, those under 14 years old and those over 60 will not have to show any type of accreditation to receive the discount.

Johnny English: Back in Action, The Kingdom or A Little Favor: The Most Interesting Films

On those dates, films such as Johnny English: Again in Action, ALPHA, Book club, The Ted Kennedy scandal, Pope Francis - A man of his word, The Rider, El Capitan, Futbolísimos, Girl, Happy end, will be in theaters. Christopher Robin, The nun, A small favor, I love dogs, The desert bride, The Incredibles 2, Oreina, Searching, Teen titans go !, Everyone knows, Hell fest, In love with my wife, Yucatan, Predator or The kingdom (by Rodrigo Sorogoyen).

In A Small Favor, Paul Feig directs a comedy starring actresses Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, where the latter will investigate the disappearance of the former in a small town.

Johnny English: Back in Action will be a great contender for the most viewed film, as previous films in this comedy series have enjoyed massive popularity for their hilarious humor. We leave you the trailer for this third installment of the saga.

The quality of many of these films will bring many people to theaters. Of course, it will be difficult to replicate the success of the previous Film Festival, where around 1.65 million people attended theaters in the three days, a figure similar to that of October 2017.

An invitation to experience the theater festival in Olite

Friday, July 20, 2018

Navarra will once again host a theater party this summer. Between July 20 and August 4, the nineteenth edition of the Olite Theater Festival will be held, the second with artistic direction by Luis F. Jiménez, also responsible for the Don Quijote Festival in Paris. This edition proposes a contemporary review of classics such as Shakespeare, Cervantes, Molière, Calderón or Valle-Inclán, by some of the most prominent playwrights and directors on the current scene.

With the impulse of this festival, the General Directorate of Culture renews its determined support to the professionals of the Navarrese sector. An objective that also motivates other actions and initiatives framed in the Theater Promotion Plan developed by the Government of Navarra. Thus, En Rumbo Teatro will open the edition with the concert Bandada de rock y versos. Olite will also host the play Gris / Mar, with Ion Iráizoz and Mikele Urroz, which emerged within the framework of the 2017 edition. And within the theatrical Poetics cycle, the premiere of four pieces created by artists and companies from Navarra such as Montse Zabalza , Peio Otano, Iralei Teatro, La Nave Teatro and Atikus.

Once again, the Olite Theater Festival will offer a professional company from Navarra the possibility of participating in an artistic residency and research laboratory to start a new production. In addition, the actors and actresses are invited to two workshops on interpretation that will be given by José Tomé and Alfonso Zurro. For its part, the School of Theater of Navarra will present at the Tafalla Cultural Center the end-of-year project: I threw my heart to fry in Angélica Lidell's frying pan. And the festival will once again invite the residents of Olite to participate in two street plays: Negua, a show that will feature the Olite Rural Carnival; and Neighborhoods.

The festival will also feature outstanding proposals at the state level, by the National Classical Theater Company, Nao d'amores, Lauretzi Producciones or the Classic Theater of Seville. And, above all, in this edition Olite will have an international accent. In addition to Los Colochos de México and Teatro Indigo de Argentina, France is added, with the works Arlequin poli par l'amour and Tartufo, el impostor, in addition to the presence of the Escuela Superior de Teatro de Bordeaux Aquitania.
