- Eclectic mix of international and Venezuelan companies — The festival brings together touring troupes from abroad and bold local groups, so you’ll see everything from European contemporary pieces to plays rooted in Venezuelan folk and political theatre.

- Street theatre, puppetry and outdoor spectacles — Expect parades, pop-up acts and large-scale puppetry that spill into streets and markets. These accessible, high-energy shows invite the whole neighbourhood in and create the festival’s most contagious atmosphere.
- Hands-on workshops and artist exchanges — Alongside performances there are practical labs and masterclasses led by visiting directors, actors and designers. It’s a real chance to try new techniques, trade ideas with practitioners, or pick up a skill in a short, intense session.
- Community outreach and cross-cultural buzz — The festival intentionally reaches schools, barrios and community centres, so it feels like a city-wide happening. Expect local music, food stalls and artisan stands around venues—an informal cultural mash-up that keeps the evenings lively long after the shows end.
