Participants took an active hand in the creative process from its very first stages: the original screenplay was conceived and written by a neighborhood association from the outskirts of Madrid and by hundreds of students from the Complutense University.
They all worked in concert with retired carpenters, local seamstresses, craftsmen and professional actors to build the set, make costumes and prepare themselves for each role of the production. Radio stations, free press, social networks and works-of-mouth publicized the “1€ para ser Production” fundraising campaign, which got over 1200 citizens to pitch in. By donating 1 euro, they became the project’s producers, actively taking part in its most important meetings.
Produced by 1200 citizens of Madrid.
