REVELATION OF CONTEMPORANEITY

Selection of this years performances, coming from different cultural, social and political environments, give a new light on relation between drama inheritance and tradition, each in its own way.

Having no intention of embellishing past, they evaluate and critically consider on giving an authentic interpretation of a modern artist in a best possible way.
