Bitter-Sweet Theatrical Festival „Sąsiedzi"
03.06.201413:01
Once again, the festival's menu contains dishes in two flavours:
The “bitter” taste is the way to look for the answer to the questions posed in the festival's main idea about differentiating views on the contemporary world, the value of tradition and identity;
The “sweet” taste is a reference to the joyful side of the theatre, performances being a good entertainment, mixtures of theatre and circus or musical and dance theatres.
The Bitter-Sweet Theatrical Festival “Sąsiedzi” is a unique celebration organised especially for all the people living in Lublin region. This festival will be a specific gift for the whole audience since the entrance to all events will be free of charge.
