Plans and arrangements were made for this year’s festival even before the 2012 celebration had finished.

All international performers, particularly those in physically demanding pieces, have been informed that Bogota’s 2,600 meter altitude may mean they need to arrive a few weeks before the festival begins in order to acclimatize.

To participate in the festival workshops, festival visitors must enroll in the School Festival at escueladelfestival@festivaldeteatro.com. The festival’s website provides a complete program itinerary and descriptions of all participating theater companies.
