About this plan
Ayuno y Cenizas is a national theater premiere coming to Bogotá with a raw, grounded take on Oedipus Rex. The show is built by an amateur group that rehearses on the hillsides of the city, with musicians, actors, neighborhood artists, and people who have lived close to bazuco addiction.
On stage, real stories about drugs, family, and the neighborhood blend with the force of drums and lights that burn without any filter. The question of fate and the choice to take control of your own life feels current, urgent, and distinctly from Bogotá.
If you are looking for things to do in Bogotá this August and want a different cultural plan, this play is a strong stop on the city calendar.
