The Festival Internacional Cervantino takes place in the city of Guanajuato, located in central Mexico.
The origins of the festival are from the mid 20th century. Since then, FIC has grown to become the most important international artistic and cultural event in Mexico and Latin America, and one of four major events of its type in the world.

„I have always been guided by texts especially intimate to me and carrying an existential meaning. This is the root reaching especially deep which, however, lifts me higher – it is basically the fruit that has been nurturing the world for centuries. Looking at the two milleniums, we realize that people have little changed - that is why I consider the sacred texts very topical. From this point of view, there is no major difference between yesterday, today or tomorrow as there are always eternal verities.“
