_______
A conference open to the world
The first goal of FAcT is to offer to all university theatre groups a platform for knowing each other and sharing experiences, practices, ideas. That’s why the festival comes together with an international conference, the Estates General of Academic Theatre.
Gathering the academic practitioners from all over Europe, the Estates General undertake the challenge of collecting the best theatrical experiences born within universities, with the aim of building a European network. Theoretical reflection and actual practice mix up in a collective narration.
