Supporting culture is contributing to spaces of reflection, identity and audience formation,\" he expressed.\n\nD\u00edaz stated that in this fifth season the financial institution expands its reach by bringing the programming not only to the Banreservas Cultural Center in Santo Domingo, but also to Santiago, which strengthens this platform and reaffirms the purpose of bringing art closer to more audiences.\n\nThe theater expands its space<\/strong>\n\nMore than a theatrical offering, the season has been transformed into a creative meeting point. A space where different generations and languages dialogue, which has allowed to boost local production, expand audiences and promote a closer relationship between the theater and the citizenry.\n\nOn his part, the artistic producer, director, and creator of the season, Guillermo Cordero, highlighted the growth that the project has experienced and the support received to strengthen the national scene.\n\n\"The Banreservas Theater Season has expanded its reach and impact. Today it is not only about presenting plays, but also about accompanying the work of the companies, stimulating new audiences and offering a firm space for Dominican theatrical creation,\" Cordero affirmed.\n\nLikewise, he thanked the support of the executive president of Banreservas<\/a>, Leonardo Aguilera; the senior executive vice president of Administration, Alieska D\u00edaz; the vice president of Public Relations, Daniel Garc\u00eda Archibald and his team, headed by Lina Hern\u00e1ndez, director of Public Relations of the institution.\n\nHe pointed out that this support has allowed the season to consolidate as a point of convergence for creators, companies and audiences, strengthening the vitality and projection of Dominican stage talent.\n\n\n

Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nThe billboard at the Sala Ravelo will include titles such as La gran depresi\u00f3n, by F\u00e9lix Sabroso; El desahogo de una viuda; Liborio and Mis tres suegras, pieces that navigate between psychological introspection such as historical memory and comedy as a social reflection.\n\nAt the Banreservas Cultural Center, the programming will be aimed at families and students, with productions such as Las f\u00e1bulas de Juan Nin\u00ed, based on texts by Juan Bosch; El camar\u00f3n encantado, inspired by Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed; Emocionario; The Odyssey and Para subir al cielo, where visual language and object theater take center stage.\n\n\n

An initiative that energizes national production, opens spaces to different companies, and keeps the dialogue between artists and spectators alive.\n\nThe Banreservas Theater Season is not just an annual program. It is a constant commitment to the Dominican scene, a declaration of the permanence of the performing arts in the cultural heart of the country that not only raises the curtain: it sustains the scene and keeps it in motion.\n\n\n
