Teatro Libre de Bogotá, Independent theatre in La Candelaria, Colombia
Teatro Libre de Bogotá is a theatre company operating two venues across the city. The main stage in La Candelaria seats around 200 people, while the second location in Chapinero holds more than 600 spectators for larger productions.
The company was founded in 1973 by three theatre practitioners who started as a drama group at the University of Los Andes. Over time it grew into a major performance venue with two spaces serving the city's theatre audiences.
The company presents diverse performances throughout the year, bringing local and international productions to audiences in Bogotá. Shows range from plays and dance to music events that reflect the city's artistic interests.
The main venue sits in the historic La Candelaria district, while the second stage is located in the northern Chapinero neighborhood. Both locations are easily accessible by public transport and host shows throughout the year at various times.
The associated drama training program works with a local university to educate students in theatre practice over many years. This educational mission has made the company a key place where Bogotá's next generation of theatre makers learns their craft.
