The story

Festival Nacional de Teatro Costa Rica in San José

This listing most likely refers to Costa Rica's newly created national theater festival, staged across multiple San Jose venues including the Teatro Popular Melico Salazar and Teatro Nacional with international and Costa Rican companies, though its exact relationship to the recently launched Festival Iberoamerica Teatral could not be confirmed with certainty from available sources.

Available sources point most clearly to a newly created Costa Rican theater festival, the Festival Iberoamerica Teatral, known by the acronym FITCR, launched by the Ministry of Culture and Youth and held for the first time from April 10 to 19 in venues across San Jose, including the Teatro Popular Melico Salazar, the Teatro Nacional, the Teatro de la Aduana Alberto Canas and several smaller stages, bringing together twelve international theater companies and twelve Costa Rican companies.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

If this listing describes the newly launched FITCR, its defining feature is a government decree guaranteeing annual continuation and a first edition dedicated to the memory of theater figure Lucho Barahona, with twelve international and twelve Costa Rican companies performing across San Jose's major stages, including the Teatro Nacional, Teatro Popular Melico Salazar and Teatro de la Aduana Alberto Canas

02

The mystery stays covered

The naming ambiguity itself is worth noting: it is not certain whether this is the same event as FITCR under a generic title or a separate, more narrowly Costa Rican-only showcase
