The Dionisio (Dionysus) Theater is located on the premises of Britt Coffee, on the road to Barva, Heredia. From Automercado, 500 m North and 400 m West. Dionisio Echeverria was born in Navarra, Spain. He traveled to Chile when he was 17 years old, where he earned his living as an actor. In 1973, Echeverria came to Costa Rica with the Del Angel and Lucho Barahona Theaters, Belgica Castro and Alejandro Sieveking.

Dionisio gave a different vision to the national culture. He was not an artist, but a major project generator. Dionisio was the National Theater administrator, director of the National Theater Company, general director of the International Arts Festival, creator of the CoffeeTour and manager of the coffee shop at the National Theater.

Dr. Oscar Arias Sanchez said: “As an artist, as an organizer and administrator of cultural activities, Dionisio was of extraordinary professional competence. He was a great friend and we should thank him for his great generosity in the promotion of young people dedicated to theater and dance that today give prestige to Costa Rica.”
