Young cultural journalists strongly involved in the artistic life around them offer their original point of view on the theatre structures of their country and of Europe.
Interferences International Theatre Festival
The 9th edition of the Interferences International Theatre Festival, organized by the Hungarian Theatre of Cluj, will take place from 3-17 November. The theme of this year's edition, 35 years after the change of regime, marks the commemoration of the Romanian Revolution of 1989, a turning point that redefined not only the fate of the country but also the identity of the community, ushering in a new era. This change has not only generated profound political and social transformations, but has left a lasting imprint on the arts, including theater. The festival invites you to reflect on this shared past through the showcased performances, re-evaluating successes and failures and charting new horizons for the future. Renowned artists such as Oana Pellea, Géza Hegedűs D. and Ofelia Popii will be on stage during the Festival, and the audience will be able to see the creations of exceptional directors such as Attila Vidnyánszky jr, Mihai Măniuțiu, Josef Nadj, Gábor Tompa, Sardar Tagirovsky, Nona Ciobanu.

UTE Members
Made up of 25 members, the Union des Théâtres de l’Europe is represented in 16 countries in Europe and beyond. The UTE consists of 12 theatres, 12 members of honour and 3 individual members, and relies on a diversified network of associated structures and partners (theatres, cultural centres, companies, festivals, academies).
International Dramaturgy Conference & UTE General Assembly
Over the course of four intense days the Teatro Nacional São João (Porto, Portugal) and the UTE will present an International Conference on Dramaturgy and host the second UTE General Assembly of 2024, an event that will be held in Porto for the fourth time since 2003, the year in which the TNSJ joined the UTE. The International Conference (5th to 7th of December) will focus on dramaturgy as a concept in permanent expansion, which currently encompasses manifold ways and means for structuring a stage show. A diversified group of speakers – from theorists to creators, from theatre directors to dramaturgy centre coordinators – will analyse the collaborative nature of theatrical creation, gauge the limitations and potencies of dramaturgy in terms of intervention in present-day politics, examine globalisation’s impact in dramatic narratives. As hosts, we hope that this discussion will yield a wealth of ideas and ways of creating and questioning dramaturgy, thus further affirming UTE as a key reference in European stage arts. The UTE General Assembly (8th of December) will bring major changes in the network and offer new opportunities to discuss future projects.
Projects
Bringing artists together to exchange ideas, experience and knowledge, and to create together — this is the mission of the Union of European Theatres. Each year, the UTE brings together multiple theatres, companies and artists, all eager to critically reflect on society through creating together. A variety of events taking place throughout the year in the UTE theatres, ranging from festivals, round tables, and conferences to publications, are the outcome of this fruitful exchange.
