MEETING OF ARTISTS
Buenos Aires/ Madrid

An open discussion with Claudio Tolcachir, Daniel Veronese and Javier Yagüe

In recent years, the links between Tolcachir, Veronese and Madrid have grown stronger with both directors recognised figures in the city's theatre community. Javier Yagüe will talk about his vision as director of Madrid’s Sala Cuarta Pared.

The aim of the meeting is to establish a dialogue between the three artists and the public which will reflect on the different types of production, the experiences of each of the directors in how they go about their work and the creative possibilities born out of the exchange of ideas.
