LET’S TALK THEATER
Since our beginnings, we have conducted a monthly series called LET’S TALK THEATER WITH AGUIJÓN, which brought together directors, actors, playwrights, designers, and other performing arts workers in our theater that provided the space for these creators to showcase their work and establish a direct dialogue with the public. The talks were generally held on the last Tuesday of every month, but in recent times, due COVID-19, they’ve been suspended, and AGUIZOÓM is a way to resume these through a virtual platform.
In AGUIZOÓM we conduct live interviews on specific topics with expert guests. These meetings, held via Zoom, will last 40 minutes and will include: panelists’ comments and testimonies, visual elements (photos, videos, multimedia, graphics), and a question/answer section through chat. Each program will be recorded, subtitled in English, and subsequently uploaded to Aguijón Theater’s website for easy access to members of the public who were unable to attend or to those who wish to see it again.
The meetings are free and open to the public and will be promoted through Aguijón Theater’s social media platforms and website.
