About this plan
The Fundación Gilberto Alzate Avendaño (FUGA) brings back its second edition of 'Lecturas desde El Muelle', a monthly series of staged readings that puts the best of Colombian theater on the line. Between May and September, El Muelle at FUGA welcomes playwrights, directors, and collectives from Bogotá once a month to revisit key works from the national stage.
Each session works like a memory lab. The plays are read aloud, re-signified, and put back in conversation with the city through new generations of artists. Entry is free, so all you need to do is arrive early, get comfortable, and let the words carry you.
