This year, the festival underlines its international structure and creates a space where Turkish writers and directors and artists from abroad meet within the scope of “Theatre Beyond Borders”. With the participation of many playwrights and directors from abroad, the festival opens the door to new discussions and exchanges in the field and connects international theatre scenes through interviews, new plays, performances, workshops and reading theatres.
