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.
