Santo Domingo's International Theater Festival, now in its seventh year, opens today at a range of venues in Santo Domingo and Santiago. Outstanding productions will be staged for the incredible price of RD$50 in the festival that is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and foreign embassies in the Dominican Republic.
The festival continues through 26 June. Spain is the guest of honor this year.
The venues include Palacio de Bellas Artes, Biblioteca Infantil Republica Dominicana, Casa de Teatro, Teatro Nacional, Centro Cultural Narcizo Gonzalez, Plaza del Conservatorio (Edificio de las Escuelas de Arte), Teatro Guloya and Gran Teatro del Cibao.
Coming for this year's performances are Teatro Factoria, Teatre de L'Homme Dibuixat and Kulunka Teatro (Spain), Tibia Teatro (Argentina), Oco Teatro (Brazil), Teatro Inmigrante (Chile), Corporacion Arca de Noe (Colombia), Grupo Artistico Yoruba (Costa Rica), Teatro Papalote (Cuba), Fundacion Cultura La Trinchera (Ecuador), Cia Yossi Berg & Oded Graf (Israel), Rajatablas and Akeke Circo Teatro (Venezuela).
The DR will be represented in performances by Teatro Guloya, Teatro Rodante and Compania Nacional de Teatro.
A review in the Listin Diario points out "Obra para Dormir al Publico" (Venezuela), Adrian y Dorine (Spain) and Mechanical Trio in a Hot Country (Israel) as three of the most outstanding performances not to be missed.
This is the first year, nevertheless, when there will be more performances by local theater companies than guest companies from abroad, with 19 international productions and 23 Dominican performances.
The festival began in 1997, when Natacha Sanchez was the director of the National Theater.
