Albacete's councillors for Culture and Social Affairs, Elena Serrallé and Llanos Navarro, attended the premiere of Lope de Vega's play El perro del hortelano at the Teatro Circo. This performance was staged by the La Ruina theatre group, part of the ONCE Social Group, in celebration of its 35th anniversary.
During the event, Navarro and Serrallé congratulated the members of La Ruina, a group formed in Albacete by theatre enthusiasts with and without visual impairments. They praised the group for their long-standing commitment to culture, the performing arts, and inclusion. “They have brought inclusive theatre to society and have allowed us to enjoy their art while enhancing the abilities of people with disabilities,” they stated.
The councillors highlighted that this event embodies two key commitments of the council: supporting culture in general and amateur theatre in particular as a means of personal and collective expression, and promoting inclusion and integration so that everyone can study, travel, work, engage in sports, or enjoy culture regardless of their abilities or circumstances.
