A manera de manifest

Abstract

<p>Theatrical activity is waning in Catalonia because of the exigencies of commercial profit. There is an urgent need to set up a theatre of investigation and this requires a theatre law, decentralized theatre policies and publicly financed theatre space (municipal theatres, multi-use houses). This is why we have decided to combine our efforts and propose:&nbsp;<em>a)&nbsp;</em>that work and show space be provided;&nbsp;<em>b)&nbsp;</em>that such space not be altered because of deliberately commercial interests;&nbsp;<em>c)&nbsp;</em>that the theatre of investigation we demand dues not mean a theatre for the “élite”;&nbsp;<em>d)&nbsp;</em>we don't interpret investigation as a lot of isolated experiences;&nbsp;<em>e)&nbsp;</em>the interest, quality and rigor of our previous work guarantee the seriousness of our proposal;&nbsp;<em>f)&nbsp;</em>reference must be made to the player who is not able to accept coherent work cycles, by&nbsp;<em>g)</em>&nbsp;our proposal is open to everyone who believes that theatre is alive and evolving.</p>
