The idea of the cycle
The Argentina Florece Teatral cycle aims to cover the largest number of municipalities, municipalities and cities throughout Argentina, with the programming of theatrical performances in every place.
The aim is to carry out functions throughout the national territory in the last quarter of the year. And the City of Buenos Aires is no exception, taking advantage of the huge billboard offered by the independent theater.
The initiative has to do with the urgent need to generate active policies that accompany the process of reopening or resuming theatrical activities, which are still affected by everything that happened with the pandemic and the health emergency.
Theatrical activity has been severely impacted by the closure of the sectors and it is still difficult for the independent sector to recover.
The aim of the festival is to mobilize the theater sector to reactivate it and expand its capacities to the maximum, aiming to add as many spectators as possible. For this reason, many works on the bill recently or on the bill for more than a season, adhere to this movement that has been going on for more than ten days and crosses different areas of the city.
The free festival also intends that a large part of the public that does not regularly attend the theater, for economic reasons, will have the opportunity to see very different pieces, for different ages and tastes, and thus begin to favor the theatrical habit.
All the institutions linked to the theater sector also joined in support of the Festival.
