The Teatro del barrio is a cooperative of cultural consumption. We believe that politics is not just elections every four years and here we relate a lot to politics with everyday life. Every decision of every day is a political decision, what I buy in the supermarket is a political decision; with whom I contract the light, it is a political decision. We try to change that global vision in which politics is about politicians and certain times, every four or six years. politics is not about politicians, it’s about citizens, and the times are today and now and every time I do something. So that vision of transformation of the paradigm of politics is important. We try to make a political theater from that point of view. That is why it is very related and we talk a lot about responsible consumption and we spread that everything is political and that when we want to transform things from a sector, many other sectors are involved. If you want to change things from the theater, you cannot forget what happens in other places. Source
