## About this plan

In Bogotá, art leaves the theaters and meets people in the neighborhoods. 'Cuando no éramos vacío' is one of those stops worth catching. The production blends dance, physical theater, and poetry to talk about grief, personal change, and the way we build community.

The show is part of Culturas en Común, a program run by the District Institute of the Arts (Idartes). It draws on the writing of Colombian author Piedad Bonnett. Young artists and students take the stage in a close format that asks you to look at the human side of things without rushing.

The event takes place in the locality of Engativá, inside an educational space open to the public. It is a free plan in Bogotá for anyone looking for free theater in Bogotá that offers more than entertainment. It is a show to think about and talk about after.

- Free entry until capacity is full
- Dance, physical theater, and poetry in one show
- Inspired by texts from Piedad Bonnett
- Features young artists and students on stage
- Part of the Culturas en Común program by Idartes
