Festival de Artes Escenicas de Maracaibo in Maracaibo

The most clearly documented performing-arts festival in Maracaibo is the Festival Internacional de Teatro de Maracaibo, whose fourth edition ran August 31 to September 7 across Maracaibo and Cabimas under the theme Teatro para Ver, Oir y Sentir, with 15 theatrical groups participating. A separate Festival de Artes Escenicas de Maracaibo, distinct from this theater festival and from the Franco-Venezolano performing arts festival held in Caracas, was not independently confirmed.
