This theatre that we do together: Shakespeare & Co. and Colectivo Obras Públicas

Abstract

This article reports on the creative journey of the Chilean companies Shakespeare & Co. and the Public Works Collective, specialized in street theater and public spaces. In this undertaking, we use the Teatro Mobile Magdalena, a trailer trailer transformed into an artistic space, designed to route and take theater to places where communities do not have access to it. Built in Chile in 1996 by the Belgian stage designer Herbert Jonckers, the Teatro Mobile Magdalena has toured the country with the Trilogy of the Crafts (1996-2006) and, later, under the charge of Shakespeare & Co., specialized in the popular adaptation of the classics of Shakespeare.
