The seventh edition of FIBA, Festival Internacional de Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires International Festival) will be held Monday 5 through Sunday 18 October.

FIBA is one of the highlights of the cultural agenda of the City, an international event which encompasses a premium lineup of national and international shows, workshops, talks, presentations and special events aimed at generating a space for dialogue and reflection between artists and the eager public as well as raising new questions as to production means and aesthetic explorations among specialists.

Our city will be witnessing two weeks of intense performing activity at the local and international level that will attest to the quality and diversity of contemporary scenic arts.

The Jury composed of Griselda Gambaro, Mauricio Kartun and Luis Cano has selected the winners of the VI Germán Rozenmacher Award for New Theatre Writing, organised by Centro Cultural Ricardo Rojas (UBA) and the VII Buenos Aires International Festival. The winning entries are:
