The story

Festival de Teatro del Biobio in Concepcion

Festival de Teatro del Biobio brings national and international theater companies to Concepcion and nearby Biobio towns each year, spreading performances across venues in Concepcion, Chiguayante, Lota and Los Angeles. Born in 2010 in the aftermath of the region's major earthquake, the festival has grown into an international event with productions from across Latin America, Europe and the United States.

Concepcion's Festival de Teatro del Biobio grew out of a specific moment of civic rebuilding: the festival launched in November 2010, months after the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck the region that February, and its early editions doubled as a statement that the region's cultural life would keep going despite the damage.
