Borders Festival

Borders Festival

Granice/Borders – European Festival of Theatre in Prison 28/31-10-2021

Borders Festival is an event that, as one of the first initiatives of this type in Europe, was created to build a space for exchange, discussion and widening social awareness on the topic of theatre within the penitentiary system. The festival is being created as part of the Freeway Project.

The event will be a unique opportunity for an international exchange between theatre practitioners, who carry out theatrical activities in prisons, institutions (theatrical and penitentiary), researchers and the audience. An opportunity to build a platform for dialogue on the area of ​​ theatre in prison, in order to promote this form on a wider scale, both in Poland and abroad.
