Vitoria Theatre Festival, more international than ever

The 36th edition of the International Theatre Festival of Vitoria-Gasteiz has opted for quality this year, with a great number of international works which make up almost half the programme. The event, which will run in the Alavan capital until November 27th, will also offer a large number of national productions.
Head of the Municipal Theatre Network, Marta Monfort, emphasized the importance of theatre companies coming from the Nordic states, such as the Swedish Royal Ballet, one of the world's oldest ballet companies, and the Jo Stromgren Kompani's offering 'The Society', winner of the Norwegian National Theatre Award. Montford also highlighted two works, 'The Society' and 'Little Jesus', which will be making their debuts in Vitoria.
The 36th edition of the International Theatre Festival of Vitoria-Gasteiz will offer 32 performances, 13 of which are from overseas, three national debuts, two complete debuts and eight which will be showing in the Basque Country for the first time.
Among the novelties at this year's Festival, there will be 'Literary Circles' to discuss the works 'La Faranda', 'Veraneantes' and 'Desaparecer', and conferences entitled 'Backdrop' led by one of Spain's most important theatre critics, Marcos Ordoñoz.
