More than a hundred companies have applied to participate in the first edition of the D.O. Territori Escènic project, a professional performing arts circuit in municipalities of Catalonia with between 2,000 and 8,000 inhabitants with the aim of covering the existing deficit of performing arts programming in these localities. Thanks to this initiative, a stable, varied and sustainable theatrical offer will be implemented with which the territory will be articulated in a transversal way and synergies will be created between the audiences of the nearby towns. As the project is rolled out, the circuit will be expanded with the participation of more companies and municipalities. In fact, the first edition will take place during the months of November and December in the region of La Selva (Girona), specifically in these municipalities: Arbúcies, Caldes de Malavella, Cellera de Ter, Hostalric, Riells i Viabrea, Riudarenes, Riudellots, Sant Hilari Sacalm, Sils, Vidreres and Vilobí d’Onyar. Representatives of these towns and performing arts professionals have formed part of the committee that has chosen, from among the proposals submitted, the 12 companies that will form part of the circuit. The countdown has thus begun for the first edition of the D.O. Territori Escènic project, which is part of the Pla d’impuls del teatre, an initiative of the Departament de Cultura de la Generalitat to strengthen the theatre sector throughout the entire value chain of this sector: from creation and production, to exhibition and dissemination.
