For the first time to celebrate the jubilee edition of the 20. Festival of the Art of Directing 2020 Interpretations a discussion panel with the representatives of some of the most important theatre and performing arts festivals will take place.
Since this year the pandemic has dramatically changed the organization of many cultural events, postponing or cancelling others, the Organizers decided to organize the 20. edition of the Festival of the Art of Directing 2020 Interpretations in an online form.
During the panel we will discuss with our Guests the decisions that they have made in the organization of their events, as well as the future of the theatre events in general.
The main areas of the moderated discussion will be:
- how did the pandemics change the presence of the theatre festivals online, but also "in the physical reality", and what aspects were taken into consideration when organizing or postponing the events
- how the functioning of the theatre, film and media arts festivals and their impact on the viewer can be assessed and whether a detachment from the festival atmosphere can be visible?
- what organizational and production problems do theatre festivals taking place online come across?
- what expectations from the theatre, cinema and visual arts will the audience have after pandemics - is there going to be any change in the language of the theatre or film?
The Festivals taking part in the panel (in an alphabetical order):
- Berliner Theatertreffen
- Chekhov International Theatre Festival
- Edinburgh International Festival
- London International Festival of Theatre
- Sibiu International Theatre Festival
