We are not only looking to digitise previous works, we want to make sure the story of Territorian Performing Arts is preserved. There will be multiple ways to help out and we’re holding an information session to let you know how you can get involved.

Gabriel is one of Colombia’s most powerful comedic voices right now: millions of views, sold-out theatres, and a loyal fanbase that loves his raw, no-filter humor. His three stand-up specials — Mi Primer Aborto, En Qué Piensas and En La Olla — have cemented him as an uncomfortable, honest and brutally funny voice, widely celebrated by both audiences and major media in Colombia.
