During this edition, which is the sixteenth, the festival will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its creation. Fanny Mikey (1930-2008) -actor, director and businesswoman of Colombian-Argentinean theater- and Ramiro Osorio - Colombian cultural leader- were the founders of this extraordinary event, which was created with the goal of celebrating the 450th anniversary of the birth of Bogotá. Since then, the Festival has been held every two years and has become the largest theater event in Latin America.

The guest country is Argentina, who will amaze attendees with renowned international directors such as Alejandro Tantanian and Mauricio Kartun, and long-time actors like Marilú Marini. A tribute will also be paid to Tomaž Pandur (1963-2016), a Slovenian dramatist who has been an icon of the Ibero-American Theater Festival since 1990.
