As Bu Production, we are setting our route to South America this time with our play “I Woke Up With No Voice (Mouthpiece)”!

International Festival

BOGOTÁ

Colombia

Festival Dates
SEPTEMBER 25 — OCTOBER 3, 2026

We are thrilled to be invited to the 17th International Performing Arts Showcase “Movimiento Continuo” 2026 , held in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia.

As part of the festival, which will take place from September 25 to October 3, 2026, we will perform our play three times.

Special Festival Forum
“Who decides which body is ‘ready’ for the stage?”

In addition, we are honored to take part in this special forum organized by the festival, where we will share our artistic experience and creative process with the audience.

This festival brings together not only stage performances but also an inclusive art experience aimed at reaching diverse segments of society.

We are beyond excited to be part of this vital cultural bridge and to meet with audiences, especially in rural areas and villages with limited access to the arts.

We continue to build bridges through art, bringing different cultures together and expanding access to creative experiences.
