The search for a theatrical experience
Imagine a lady who lives in Sort, with a sincere desire to immerse yourself in the art of theater. His passion, however, encounters a reality that limits his options. Local cinema, despite having a program, is not enough for expectations.
The wider stage: the fight for access
After exploring the nearest options, he discovers that the city of Balaguer, an hour and a half away, is his best ally. However, this is a private theater. To enjoy a stable public offer, you will have to travel to Lleida, a journey that requires two hours and a significant cost of fuel.
The frustration of the distances
After several disappointing experiences with amateur companies and smaller productions, the lady decides that it is time to enjoy the best theater in the country. Its objective is the National Theater, where you will be able to see the works of authors that he admires. However, the cost and logistics of this trip are distressed.
An access unequal to culture
Its story is not unique. Many regions of Catalonia face a similar reality, with insufficient stage infrastructure and limited access to culture. Taxes that are used to maintain a national theater do not reach every corner of the country, leaving many citizens without options.
The problem of tours
Although some national productions make tours, they do so on stage that already have stable programming. This generates unfair competition with local companies, which often struggle for visibility and resources.
Challenges for equitable access
The question to be asked is: How can we ensure that live culture is accessible to everyone? The Generalitat may allocate funds to micropobles, but the amounts are ridiculous compared to what is used for institutions such as the TNC.
A proposal for change
Instead of limiting to specific subsidies, it may be best to open the doors of the National Theater to offer shows that can travel to the smallest regions, bringing the culture to those who fund it with their taxes.
The importance of cultural proximity
There are examples of success in small localities that show that culture can bloom, with notable attendance in stable programs. Lady of Sort, like many others, deserves access to the same opportunities to enjoy the culture as those who live in large cities.
A future for scenic culture
It is essential that you work on a long -term plan to improve access to culture, without haste but with determination. The goal is not only to increase the number of viewers, but to ensure that everyone can be excited with the performing arts, regardless of their location.
