A theater as big as a city, this is Bogotá during the Festival Iberamericano de Teatro.
The festival was created in 1988 by Argentinian performer Fanny Mikey and Colombian Cultural Minister, Ramiro Osorio to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the founding of Bogotá.
Since it’s beginning, the FITB has become the most significant cultural event in Colombia and one of the most important theater festivals in the world. With the presence of theater groups from five continents, there is one main objective, the integration of Latin American art to the world.
