THEATRE IN THE CITY’S HIDDEN FOLDS

THEATRE IN THE CITY’S HIDDEN FOLDS

Talk by Toni Ramón and Ivan Alcázar

Historically, theatres roamed the city, pioneers of urban development, civilising the areas where they set up. In the case of Barcelona, from Las Ramblas to Passeig de Gràcia, and from there to Paral·lel, theatres have played a crucial role in shaping the city. But once the urban fabric is established, the same dynamics that attract the theatres then cast them out to more peripheral, and even deprived, areas.
