At Water People Theater, cultures have no barriers.
For over 22 years, we have opened roads for human rights through the inclusive and transformative power of theater. We believe in its power to bring people together to inspire action and facilitate harmony among diverse communities.
We are committed to subjects and content that create a sense of community and cross socioeconomic boundaries to access underserved individuals and communities who may not have been exposed to art.
We understand theater as a space of freedom that offers the opportunity to create and consolidate the equitable meeting between diverse cultures, ethnic groups, and languages.
We have verified that theater has a huge capacity to move both the performers and the audience, create empathy with what is going on onstage,and unite the spectators against injustice, pain, racism, and violence.

“Siento que desde nuestro lugar de origen hemos estado juntos, que somos de la misma materia, de las mismas ondas, que llevamos dentro el mismo sentido”
“The identity of Latinos is a variety of ancestries, ethnic groups, and races, which makes Latin America one of the most diverse regions in the world. Their DNA is a mixture of races or mestizaje between Europeans (Spaniards, English, Portuguese), Amerindians (indigenous population of the Americas), and African slaves”.
