The story

Festival de Titeres de Caracas in Caracas

Caracas has a long-running puppet-theater tradition best represented today by FETCOM, the Festival de Teatro y Titeres en las Comunidades de Caracas Alberto Ravara, which brings scenic performances into neighborhoods across the city's twenty-two parishes rather than staging a single centralized show.

Puppetry has a documented place in Caracas's cultural life stretching back at least to the year 2000, when the city hosted Marionette 2000, a festival running from November 4 to 12 that drew national and international puppet companies together for a citywide program, marking one of the more prominent formal puppet festivals in the capital's recent history.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

FETCOM is organized by the Instituto de Investigacion para el Desarrollo de las Artes en Venezuela and has run for more than two decades, reaching its twenty-second edition and directly benefiting more than 800 children in a single recent year by bringing puppetry and theater into community spaces rather than requiring audiences to travel to a central venue

02

The mystery stays covered

Caracas has also hosted larger one-off international gatherings, including Marionette 2000, a citywide festival in November 2000 that convened national and international puppet companies, showing that puppetry in Caracas ranges from grassroots community programming to internationally scaled events
