Black and/or Catalan Theater? A conversation on the presence of Black theatre in Catalonia

THURSDAYS OF VOICE AND WORD with Silvia Albert Sopale

How many works of Black theatre have you seen in the past month? And in the past year? Does Black theatre have a real presence in Catalonia, or is it still an emerging practice that remains almost invisible?

This conversation will focus on the experiences, genealogies and urgent concerns of Afro-descendant creators working in the performing arts.

We will ask ourselves about the qualities and needs of Black theatre and, most importantly, about the need for Black theatre itself: its political force, its ability to build community and its capacity to shift the mindset of a society that still sees from only one vantage point.
