Ioannina Street Theater Festival is coming back for its second year from 29 to 31 August 2013. During the festival, teams and individual artists from Greece and abroad will present an artistically alternating program for all ages including theatrical plays, music shows, puppet, circus and dance performances. Moreover, workshops for adults and children will take place as well as arts and crafts exhibitions.
Before the official beginning of Ioannina Street Theater Festival, the audience on Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 will get first taste of what is coming next with the implementation of two events, while different seminars will start running on Monday 26 by acclaimed artists: Construction and puppet animation, aerial acrobatics and a seminar on movement.
All the programmed events will take place in public sites of the city, central streets and squares, and locations of natural beauty and multicultural memory, while in case of rain they will be hosted indoors.
Wishing to remain unwavering on the organization’s objectives for wide participation in activities enlivening public space, all of the events will be non-ticketed, considering as well the difficult circumstances we live in.
