Special performance at the Cuale Cultural Center.
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco — This Wednesday, March 27, marks World Theater Day, a day that celebrates one of humanity's oldest and most moving artistic expressions. In Puerto Vallarta, the artistic and cultural community joins this global holiday with a special performance that promises to move and inspire audiences.
In the cultural heart of the port, the Cuale Cultural Center Auditorium will open its doors to present a unique adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic play King Lear. This performance is no ordinary production: it is a show with a biodramatic approach, laden with symbolism and emotion, which pays tribute to maestro Alberto Fabián Sahagún Orozco, a prominent promoter of theater in the region.
The performance, completely free, seeks to bring theater closer to the Vallarta community and visitors who visit on this important date. The invitation is open to all audiences, from theater lovers to those who wish to experience a live performance for the first time.
World Theatre Day has been celebrated every March 27th since 1962, at the initiative of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), a UNESCO Associated Agency. The date was chosen to commemorate the inauguration of the Theatre of Nations in Paris, an event that brought together theater companies from around the world with a message of peace and understanding between cultures.
Each year, a prominent figure in the performing arts is invited to write the International Message for World Theatre Day, which is read on stages around the world before each performance. This message reflects on the role of theater in society, its transformative power, and its value as a tool for dialogue and freedom of expression.
The celebration seeks to recognize the work of theater artists, encourage attendance at performances, and underscore the importance of theater as a cultural bridge that unites people across borders and languages.
The Importance of Theater to Puerto Vallarta
Theater, as a living and collective art form, has been key to the cultural history of Puerto Vallarta. Over the decades, independent venues, public spaces, and official venues have hosted productions that tell local stories, reinterpret universal classics, and give voice to new generations of artists.
In the words of several members of the cultural community, theater continues to be a bridge that connects Vallarta residents with their roots, their emotions, and the current social debate. Beyond entertainment, it is an educational and social transformation tool, especially in a city where diversity and tradition are embraced every day.
The celebration of World Theater Day is, therefore, a reminder of the relevance and necessity of keeping the performing arts alive in spaces such as the Cuale Cultural Center, the La Gata Forum, and the Cuale River Forum, places where local talent thrives and is proudly shared.
