The La Fiesta theatre production was performed by Harlequin and the Jugglers at the Pablo Tobón Uribe Theater in Medellín, Colombia, on 17 May 2023. La Fiesta is a piece inspired by the findings of the research project “Art that protects, phase 1: Contributions of artistic-cultural initiatives to the self-protection strategies of young people and women in the context of urban conflict in Medellín, 2022“.
The performance was attended by more than 600 people, including many members of artistic-cultural organizations from vulnerable urban areas in Medellín. La Fiesta underscores the transformative power of art in communities affected by urban violence.
