This initiative, part of the #CMCVaCasa Online Culture program, will showcase hundreds of cultural works across digital platforms—an essential facet of the basic search experience—and will culminate in a major physical exhibition. The display runs from May 11 in the Ferreres and Goerlich rooms at the Center del Carme Cultura Contemporània (CCCC) and will extend through the Consorci de Museus’ web presence and social networks.

These works are key to developing the industry and bringing contemporary culture closer to society, thanks to their ability to travel beyond traditional theatre. The variety and quality of projects submitted in this issue once again demonstrate the Valencian Community’s talent is linked to new creative tools,” states José Luis Pérez Pont, director of the organization and the Center del Carme.
