Dear friends,

Due to the instable social-political situation of the last days in Chile, I come with the sad news that we have cancelled FITA CHILE 2019 that was supposed to take place next week in Santiago.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to guarantee the necessary conditions of safety for all participants, local and international artists and professionals, as well as all workers involved and most importantly, our audience – especially if we consider that this is an event that involves the participation of children.
Moreover, we have to respect that the hearts and energy of the Chilean partners and artists are in another, more important cause.

More important than our immense disapointment, is to keep in mind the political and existencial cards being played in Chile at the moment. We stand with the people of Chile and their protests for a just society.

We thank the amazing warm wave of support we have received since the cancellation, it does makes us very optimistic that we will be able to continue the work and re- schedule the event at a future date.
We do believe that FITA CHILE plays an essential role for the whole TYA ecosystem in Latin America.

Queridos amigos,

Debido a la inestable situación socio-política de los últimos días en Chile, tenemos la triste noticia de que hemos cancelado FITA CHILE 2019 que se realizaría la próxima semana en Santiago.
Desafortunadamente, es imposible para nosotros garantizar las condiciones de seguridad necesarias para todos los participantes, artistas y profesionales locales e internacionales, así como para todos los trabajadores involucrados y, lo que es más importante, para nuestro público, especialmente si consideramos que este es un evento que involucra la participación de niños. Además, tenemos que respetar que los corazones y la energía de los socios y artistas chilenos están en otra causa.

Más importante que nuestra gran desilusión, es tener en cuenta las cartas políticas y existenciales que se están jugando en Chile en este momento. Estamos con el pueblo de Chile y sus protestas por una sociedad más digna y justa.
Agradecemos la increíble y cálida ola de apoyo que hemos recibido desde la cancelación, lo que nos hace ser muy optimistas de que podremos continuar el trabajo y volver a programar el evento en una fecha futura. Creemos que FITA CHILE juega un papel esencial para todo el ecosistema de las artes escenicas para infancia y juventud en América Latina.
Seguimos!
