Cazorla’s XXII International Theater Festival has concluded with “objectives achieved” as well as “audience success”. Nearly 4,000 people were present in the Sala and Teatrino cycle, and many others enjoyed the outdoor offerings of the Street Theater.
Europa Press was informed by Antonio Jose Rodriguez, the mayor. This has resulted in the passage of about thirty companies through the town between October and December 5.
He said that the festival “continues to be a cultural reference in Andalusia, especially in the province Jaen, as hundreds of people attend each performance, which has an impact on the economic and commercial fabric of the municipality.”
Rodriguez agreed with these statements and ratified the City Council’s commitment to theater art for over two decades, “an arts that generates employment, wealth, and will continue to work every year.” Rodriguez also emphasized the “interpretive quality” of theater works. He said, “We have seen representations that deal with the social issues of our day without leaving behind classical theater and with special emphasis on dance shows like the one that the Iron Skulls have brought us”
The mayor also stopped by the programming for children, the Teatrino Cycle, which this edition features four performances and has attracted absolute crowds in every one. He recalled that Ana Fernandez was the recipient of the City of Cazorla Theatre Award. She stated that Lady Chatterley’s performance was a huge hit with the audience and is now considered one of the most important festival artists, along with Concha Velasco, Nuria Espert and Blanca Portillo.
He also mentioned the positive impact of this type of initiative on the tourism sector. It is located in Las Villas Natural Park, Segura, and Cazorla.
Rodriguez stated that the FIT offers a “cultural and leisure complement” to travelers so they choose inland tourism that combines nature, culture, and gastronomy. He also noted that work is ongoing on the next edition of the FIT so Cazorla remains the leader in culture and theatre>>.
