The director of the National Theatre Institute called for reflection so that the Omnibus Law does not advance: “Theatrical diversity is in danger”

Mariano Stolkiner, director of the National Theater Institute, called for reflection so that the Omnibus Law project, called “Law of Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines”, proposed by President Javier Milei, does not advance. Without the existence of this Institute, a huge number of makers would not have been able to grow by developing their creative spaces, positioning Argentine theater as one of the most important worldwide, full of values that function as disseminators of our culture, not only within our territory, but even crossing borders to install a seal of excellence around our theatrical work in the world.” said the artist, who was summoned a few weeks ago to assume the ownership of the entity, founded in 1997, through law 24800.You may also be interested in: “Matilda, the musical” is declared of Cultural Interest in the Buenos Aires Legislature”The Institute, through its more than 25 years of existence, has managed to promote, to promote, to sustain a federal theater, which is a source of national pride.
