There are spaces that, without making noise, become the cultural soul of a city. Places where art becomes resistance, where words become memory, and where the stage helps us understand ourselves as a society. One of those places is Pequeño Teatro, which today, with pride and emotion, celebrates 50 years of existence. 

Founded in 1975, Pequeño Teatro has, since its beginning, been a refuge for creation, a laboratory for actor training, and a stronghold from which human dignity has been defended through art. On its stage, memorable plays have come to life, generations of actors and actresses have been formed, and the conviction has remained alive that theater is not a luxury, but a vital necessity. 

For Fraternidad Medellín, it is an honor to walk alongside this space, recognizing its invaluable contribution to the cultural and civic life of Medellín. Supporting Pequeño Teatro is a way of reaffirming our commitment to culture as a tool for social transformation and to art as a path toward sensitivity, reflection, and coexistence. 

For five decades, Pequeño Teatro has opened its doors without fear of difficulties. It has resisted the darkest moments of the city, kept its lights on even when it seemed impossible, and turned words into a profound and peaceful form of resistance. Because there, behind the curtains, citizenship has also been built, critical thinking has been sown, and hope has been nurtured. 

Today, as it celebrates 50 years, this theater remains “small” only in name. Its legacy is immense. Its impact extends far beyond the walls of its venue in the heart of Medellín. Every performance, every training, every applause continues to remind us that culture is a collective act of love, a way of caring for who we are. 

From Fraternidad Medellín, we celebrate its history, honor its courage, and renew our commitment to continue being allies of those who, like Pequeño Teatro, believe that another society is possible when art is given the place it deserves. 

Thank you for 50 years of art, memory, and humanity. Thank you for making us more sensitive, more aware, more human. Long live Pequeño Teatro!
