Coordinadora d'Entitats pel Teatre Arnau

The Coordinadora d'Entitats pel Teatre Arnau is an organization advocating for community-led management of the Teatre Arnau in Barcelona. The Teatre Arnau, the last remaining 'barraca' theater on the Paral·lel, is currently undergoing renovations by the Barcelona City Council and is expected to reopen next year (2027). The Coordinadora is newsworthy because they are actively mobilizing while the city completes the renovations. They recently held an event on Friday, April 10, 2026, to promote their vision of community management for the future theater. Their efforts highlight the ongoing debate about the future governance and programming of this historically significant cultural space, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in its revitalization.
