Alongside the performances, the festival will organise morning seminars where theatre companies that have performed the night before will be able to meet festival-goers. The symposiums will be an opportunity to discuss the running of amateur theatre in different cultures. In the afternoon, the festival will host a series of workshops on two themes: “Why the mask?” and “Creating a Modern Chorus in a Classical Play”.
