National Theatres' Meeting

National Theatres' Meeting, a festival that gathers the most prominent European national theatres, is organised regularly every two years. Its fourth edition will take place from October to December 2015. To highlight The 250th Jubilee of the National Theatre, it will also focus on the Polish repertoire present on different European national stages.

Apart from the acclaimed theatres from Vienna, Stockholm and Vilnius we will have the pleasure to introduce la Colline – presumably the most vivid national stage in France.  Moreover, the Symposium of National Theatres, which accompanies the festival, will be opened to the public for the first time. During the discussion the directors of national stages from all over the world examine the challenges faced by their institutions. The debate is honoured by the presence of renowned intellectuals, invited especially for this occasion.
