Theater as Bridge

Theater understood as a bridge is a privileged instrument to activate journeys within themselves, in direct relationship with otherness and with the territory. A bridge capable of giving visibility, projection, empowerment, and voice to all those who have not been heard. The meaning of the existence of theater as a facilitating medium lies in the awareness of its social mission.

The proposal of Theater as a Bridge has been developed at Teatro Cenit by Bernardo Rey and Nube Sandoval. For 25 years they have implemented it in the ideation, direction and coordination of artistic projects in risk areas and with vulnerable populations in Colombia, Ecuador, United States, France, Italy, Switzerland and Kenya.

Theater as a Bridge is rooted in the social commitment of contemporary theater. For this work, Cenit has been awarded with the Premio Catarsi-Teatri delle Diversitá by the Italian National Association of Theater Critics, the “Ellen Stewart International Award” in New York and the 1st Prize at the International Biennial of Theater and Psychiatry in Italy.
