About this plan
The NO Convencional Festival Bogota 2026 returns for its third edition with a show that mixes film and live music. The piece '13 Most Beautiful… Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests' takes thirteen film portraits shot on 16mm by Andy Warhol between 1964 and 1966 and projects them while a band plays a set created for those images.
On screen you see figures like Lou Reed, Nico, Dennis Hopper, and Edie Sedgwick, all connected to The Factory in New York. On stage, Dean Wareham, Britta Phillips, Derek See, and Roger Brogan play each portrait with live music, recreating the crossover between image and sound that Warhol explored with The Velvet Underground and Nico in the 1960s. It is a different pick on the Bogota cultural calendar, aimed at people who enjoy experimental art.
The show is set for Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. at the Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. Tickets are sold through the box office, so check prices and availability on the official source before you go.
