Sala Beckett. Obrador Internacional de Dramatúrgia
The Sala Beckett is a space for the theatre-related creation, training and experimentation, devoted especially to promoting contemporary playwriting and to disseminating Catalan theatrical authorship.
A meeting point for theatrical authors with the audience and other stage creators and professionals from different spheres and disciplines, the Sala Beckett hosts intense activity in show production and programming, courses and labs, lectures, meet-ups and all kinds of activities involving exchange, thinking and debate on playwriting and the contemporary world.
The new Sala Beckett, which opened in November 2016 in Poblenou, Sant Martí district, is dedicated to theater, experimentation, and rehearsal. This meeting place for creativity is located in the space of the former Pau i Justicia cooperative. The design by architects Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats reflects the density of memories deeply rooted in the culture of the industrial district, which underwent significant changes due to the 1992 Olympics and has now become a vibrant place with numerous artists and creative talents.
The Fundació Sala Beckett/Obrador Internacional de Dramatúrgia is its steering body which, with a board of trustees formed by 12 playwrights, ensures compliance with the founding aims and guarantees the organisation’s transparency and democratic functioning.
With José Sanchis Sinisterra as the Patron of Honor, the current members of the Board of Trustees are: Sergi Belbel (President), Carles Batlle, Marta Buchaca, Toni Casares, Clàudia Cedó, Jordi Galceran, Juan Mayorga, Pau Miró, Pere Riera, Mercè Sarrias and Victoria Szpunberg.
The Sala Beckett is one of Barcelona City Council’s Art Factories and also has the support of the Catalan Government’s Department of Culture and INAEM (National Institute of Performing Arts and Music).
