The San Bartolomé Theater Cultural Week brings together more than 3,000 people at the Municipal Theater, the streets of the municipality and the Santa Elena square, in Playa Honda, in its sixteenth edition. These are days for which the residents of San Bartolomé have responded with an "incredible reception" in all the theatrical performances that have taken place between April 2 and 14.
Although the official program has come to an end, the Theater Cultural Week will keep the curtain open to host next May 4 at the Municipal Theater at 8:30 p.m., ‘La comunidad de la naranja’ by SomoS Teatro, a theatrical performance that had to be postponed due to the weather alert on April 9.
The mayor of San Bartolomé, Isidro Pérez, highlighted “the success of participation” that this 2024 edition has had and thanked the municipal theater groups for “their tireless work that has allowed San Bartolomé to become a cultural reference in the Canary Islands.”
“One more year, San Bartolomé has filled the stages of the Theater Cultural Week, showing the passion and commitment that the municipality has for culture and the performing arts, to which the town hall will continue to give all our support so that the municipal groups can continue to develop their work,” said Isidro Pérez.
