What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's scale within a compressed window is notable: a recent edition packed 66 distinct works and 131 performances, involving 1,086 artists, into 21 venues across roughly ten days, spanning Caracas neighborhoods from Petare to Propatria and the downtown core rather than concentrating in a single theater district

02

The mystery stays covered

Its programming range extends beyond conventional stage productions to room and street theater, children's theater, workshops, round tables, tributes, and educational activities, positioning it as a citywide cultural program rather than a narrow showcase

03

The city starts moving

As a free, government-organized event launched by the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture as an initiative of President Nicolas Maduro, it is explicitly framed around promoting Venezuelan theater and national identity, requiring prior registration rather than ticket purchase
