The street theater is a style of theater shown in open air places like:
squares, universities, malls and
parks. This is the art of becoming
these places in scenarios where
people enjoy something wonderful
and free. It is also a way to get closer
to people and delight in thousands
of emotions, keep this attention and
make this time in something magical.
In Colombia we celebrate Iberoamerican Festival of theater every year. Thanks to great woman
who worked hard every day for
each edition could be better, Ms.
Fanny Mikey though having a lot
of obstacles and the period where
the country was suffering a crisis in the memory of Fanny Mikey
Colombia has actually a wonderful show of theater. In this festival we can see a lot of street plays.
But not only we can appreciate
the street theater in the festival, every day, in many places
of a big city, like Bogotá, people
win the life doing this to arrive
to a square or park and pay attention to people around. These
people give a very beautiful performing of the street theater,
in exchange of some money.
In my opinion, I do not only see
the street theater in the things
that I have mentioned, but also
I see some people who go out a
traffic light, go up to the bus and
show their talent something incredible and amazing. These people, for me, are great artists that
take all their talent to the streets
to sustain their families, pay the
university or survive in this big
city with very few opportunities.
Thanks to these, thousands of
artists that make people happy and with out knowing, can
have a very bid sadness with
the street theater people forget of this of a moment to go
to a world of art an magic.
