Teatro de la Ribera, Community theatre in La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Teatro de la Ribera is a theatre with around 700 seats housed in a building with colorful murals facing the Riachuelo river in La Boca. The structure combines traditional neighborhood architecture with vibrant artistic design on its exterior.
The theatre was established in 1971 as a cultural space for the La Boca neighborhood. Its creation was part of an effort to support artistic expression in this traditionally working-class area.
The venue hosts independent theatre productions, children's shows, and tango performances that reflect the artistic life of the neighborhood. This mix of programming makes it a place where local residents encounter different forms of expression.
The venue is located at Avenida Don Pedro de Mendoza 1821 and offers performances at reduced prices for local residents. Its riverside location makes it easy to reach, and the theatre maintains regular schedules throughout the year.
The theatre building was created by renowned local artist Quinquela Martín, who designed the colorful murals and donated the entire complex to the city. This act of generosity made the venue a gift from an artist to his own community.
