This afternoon the performances of Microteatro in the Hort de Colón began. Moments before, the mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, along with the councilor of Culture, Ana Pellicer, have taken the opportunity to greet and meet the actors. The initiative, organized by Mascarat Producciones in collaboration with the Department of Culture, staged six different stories in six of the rooms of this manor house of the nineteenth century, now converted into a museum, exhibition hall and the ideal place for this type of representations:
The microtheatre is a new modality recently emerged and very successful in Madrid. It consists of theatrical works, of a time not exceeding fifteen minutes, in a minimal room, with no more than 12 people that, in general, ends up integrating into the work. The microtheatre performances will continue tomorrow, also at Hort de Colón.
