This year's theme: Building Bridges
This year, I.TH.A.C.A. Festival invites artists and performers to BUILD BRIDGES, an invitation to connect what feels separate.
It’s about reaching across distances - between people, forms, ideas, and artistic worlds. It’s about collaboration, dialogue, and the creative spark that emerges when different perspectives meet. Whether through improv, scripted theater, dance, performance art, or any other performative expression, we invite you to explore how art can unite, communicate, and transform. Surprise us with: Improv shows – The heart of our festival! Scripted theater – Stories that challenge, move, and inspire. Performance & Dance – Expressing the unspoken through movement. Any other performative art – Because creativity has no limits. |
