Linda Peretz, president of the Casa del Teatro, has issued an urgent plea for assistance from the Government of the City [1, 2].
The request highlights a critical financial and operational crisis facing one of the region's cultural landmarks. If the institution cannot secure support, its ability to maintain its programming and operations remains at risk.
During an interview broadcast by C5N and published by Caras Glam, Peretz discussed the challenges currently facing the organization [1, 2]. She described the internal state of the Casa del Teatro as a desperate situation [2]. Peretz said that the institution requires immediate intervention and support from city officials to stabilize its precarious position [2].
Beyond the institutional crisis, Peretz spoke about her own personal journey and evolution during the interview [1]. She reflected on her growth and the changes she has undergone while leading the organization. "Me reinventé a mí misma," Peretz said [1].
The call for help is intended to increase visibility for the economic struggles the Casa del Teatro is enduring [2]. By speaking publicly on a live platform, Peretz aims to pressure the Government of the City to recognize the severity of the situation and provide the necessary resources to ensure the theater's survival [2].
Peretz's public appearance marks a direct attempt to bridge the gap between the cultural sector's needs and the city's administrative response. The institution continues to operate under significant strain as it awaits a formal response to the request for aid [2].
“"La Casa del Teatro está viviendo una situación desesperante"”
The public plea by Linda Peretz underscores the fragility of cultural institutions that rely on government subsidies or emergency grants. By framing the crisis as 'desperate,' the Casa del Teatro is attempting to move from private negotiation to public advocacy, leveraging media visibility to force a policy response from the City Government.
