Antonio Rico, delegate councilor for the Culture area of the Ibi City Council, declares that “we continue to think that cultural programming must encompass the maximum of people possible through the performing arts in general, taking into account ages and tastes. It is difficult to reach everyone, but we believe that the programs that are being designed for the Río Theater and the Salvador Miró Cultural Center go far to complete this demand. Even so, in each semester continuous improvement is always sought and that the programming reaches all the residents of the town and of the province, since above all the Rio Theater is making an important place in the Alicante cultural scene “.
