## About this plan

The Bogotá Theater and Circus Festival returns with an opening show that mixes actor-led theater, puppets, music, and dance. The production is 'Lobo de los Animalistas', a piece that explores the marks of war on personal and shared memory. It runs at the Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán.

The story draws from Roberto Wolf, the son of Hungarian immigrants who settled in Villarrica, Colombia, in a region shaped by conflict. Through his life, the show invites the audience to consider truth as both a personal and a collective experience. It also proposes rebuilding connections in the face of violence.

The production is the opening bet of the festival's eleventh edition, organized by the Asociación Nacional de Salas Concertadas and Idartes' Drama Arts Office, with support from local universities and venues. A free chance to celebrate Bogotá's birthday with top-tier performing arts.
