TELAS Colectiva Teatral

Experimental Theater Social Artistic Laboratory

We are a space of itinerant, artivist, and collective creation social theater, residing in the occupied territory of the Nacotchtank and Piscataway peoples who are future, present and past in this territory (the DMV area - Washington DC , Maryland and Virginia).

We consider and approach theatrical art, sociodrama, music, the body and performance, from a liberating and transformative role, through a decolonial and abolitionist perspective (anti-racist, anti-extractivist, anti-classist, anti-patriarchal), facing the social realities of our communities and their struggles for land and territory. In our collective, community organization and art as a means of expression and social denunciation prevail over the vision of the arts as spectacle and entertainment.
