In statements within the framework of the 6th edition of the Tchole Festival, which is taking place in Luena as part of the Independence Day festivities, actress and journalist Solange Feijó said that, after half a century of sovereignty, the country needs more spaces to elevate theater and culture in general.The actress, on the other hand, defended the public management of the few cinema spaces built in the country, considering that “the management of these infrastructures by private entities has hindered the practice of art in the country, especially theater.”
Therefore, she advocated for the integration of the National Theater Association (AAT) into the budgeted units of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to guarantee support for theater groups.
Quim Fasano, known in artistic circles as “Chico Caxico,” an actor for 29 years, highlighted the creation of policies for the economic sustainability of artists in the country.
