10-14/10/2016 - 25th International Festival of Student Theatre in Besançon (Franche-Comté)

The University Theatre of Franche Comté was founded in October 1986, and during the following two years it performed its own plays in France and abroad. But rather than simply responding each time to particular invitations, we decided in 1990 to inaugurate our own International Student Theatre Festival, and since then we have welcomed here scores of student groups from France and elsewhere.

The Festival is an exciting event each year for all those who participate and also for a wider public in and around Besançon.

During the week of the international meeting, there are plays and we organise some events ( conferences- demonstrations, workshops...).

This year, in 2016, we are looking especially for student groups which stage french authors (classical or contemporary) in their native language.

Participation:
All groups must consist of university students, not exceeding 10 persons (or with some conditions : above this numbers, the group will be charged at the rate of 25 € per additional person/per day).

Accommodation:
The University Theatre of Franche Comté will be responsible for the accommodation charges of the group (only actors, group leader, technician, workshop leader) for a maximum of 6 nights. Above those numbers (10 persons), the group will be charged at the rate of 25 euros per additional person per day. Please let us know if you will be requiring any large equip when you register.

Observers will be responsible for their own accommodation charges.

Transport:
Each group is responsible for its own travel expenses to and from the Festival and must set aside sufficient funds to ensure its return to its city or country of origin. The University Theatre will provide a bus card for each participant, offering unlimited travel on Besançon’s buses for the duration of the Festival.

Contact before 1/4/2016.
