Adetca

Adetca is an organization that promotes the performing arts, particularly theater, primarily in Catalonia, Spain. They are newsworthy due to the success of their annual 'Cap Butaca Buida' (Empty Seat) initiative. This event, now in its third year, encourages people to attend theater performances, aiming to fill every seat in participating venues. Recent developments show that 'Cap Butaca Buida' has expanded beyond Catalonia, gaining support in Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Andorra, and even Buenos Aires. The third edition of the event has broken previous records, attracting 81,513 spectators across 261 venues, showcasing 305 shows, and involving 347 performances. The initiative's relevance lies in its ability to boost theater attendance and support the performing arts sector, with related activities like selling 'theater bread' to further promote the event.
