It’s time for lights up on FITB, the biggest theatre festival in Bogotá. Bradley Cashman gets the lowdown on what’s going on.
El Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogotá (FITB) is more than one show, one company, or one venue. It is recognised as the biggest theatre festival in Bogotá and one of the largest theatre festivals on the planet. Since its inaugural version, created by callejero and theatre legend Fanny Mikey in 1988 under the slogan “An Act of Faith in Colombia,” FITB has returned to Bogotá every two years, boasting hundreds – if not thousands – of both national and international talent.
