March 27th "World Theatre Day" World Theatre Day is held on March 27 since 1961, an initiative of the International Theatre Institute, an agency of UNESCO.
For this reason many theatrical displays are organized around the world trying to provide a little more vitality the genre forgotten by many.
"O Novo Teatro Trasno" I encourage celebrate this date. Go to the theater, the cafe, the streets, where actors and actresses do you feel the magic of our art, the transmission of feeling between the real and fictional, between characters and audience.
One of the most emblematic of this date is spreading the message written by a man of global dimension, invited by the International Theatre Institute, to share their thoughts on the topics of the theater and peace among peoples. This message was read, this day, in most theaters around the world.
As every year, the statue of Don Ramón María de Valle-Inclán, located on the Paseo de Recoletos in Madrid, will wear their traditional white scarf and, by night becomes the appeal of sites visited Max Estrella, star of Lights of Bohemia, a work which Don Ramón inaugurated the genre of the grotesque, mixing of tragedy, satire and humor.
In 2009, the traditional message was commissioned from playwright, writer and Brazilian theater director Augusto Boal.

Last 2008, Augusto Boal, was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Exile in the United States in 1953, to return to Brazil two years later where he acts as artistic director of Theatre Saou Paulo Area.
This is her message:
Post World Theatre Day 2009
All human societies are spectacular in their daily lives and produce shows at a time special. They are spectacular as a form of social organization and produce shows like this that you came to see.
Although unconsciously, human relationships are structured in a drama: the use of space, body language, choice of words and voice modulation, the confrontation of ideas and passions, all we do in the scenario we always do in our lives: we are theater!.
not only weddings and funerals are events, also the daily rituals which, by their familiarity, do not come to consciousness. Not only bubbles, but the coffee in the morning and good morning, timid love and storms of passion, a Senate or a diplomatic meeting, all are theater. A major function of our art is to realize these events of daily life where the actors are their own audience and the stage is the audience and the audience, stage. We are all artists doing theater, we learn to see what is obvious to the eye, but are unable to see to be so used to looking at it. Which we are familiar becomes invisible to the theater, on the contrary, it illuminates the scene of daily life.
In September last year we were surprised by a dramatic revelation: we thought we lived in a safe world, in spite of wars, genocides, slaughter and torture that had happened, yes, but far from nodes in remote and wild. We who lived safe with our money saved in a reputable bank or in the hands of an honest broker, we were informed that this money does not exist, it was virtual, ugly fiction of some economists who were not fiction, nor safe nor respectable. Was nothing more than bad theater, dark plot, where few people won a lot and many people lost everything. Politicians from rich countries held at secret meetings and magic solutions out there. We, the victims of their decisions, we kept the spectators in the last row of benches.
Twenty years ago, I went "Fedra" of Racine, en. The stage was poor on the ground, cowhides, bamboos around. Before starting the show, I told my players, "Now we just fiction in the day. When you cross those bamboos, back on stage, none of you has the right to lie. The theater is the hidden truth. "
Viewing the world beyond appearances, we see the oppressors and the oppressed in all societies, races, genders, classes and castes, see the world unfair and cruel.
We have an obligation to invent another world because we know that another world is possible. But it matters to us build with our hands entering the scene, on stage and in life.
Attend the show is about to begin, then at home with friends, do your work yourself and see LOl never could see, as what's in our eyes. Theatre is not just an event, is a way of life!
Actors all of us, the citizen is one who lives in society, is one that transforms!.
Augusto Boal.
