The first production is presented by Morocco’s Muse troupe and directed by Imane Jaafari; the second comes from Spain’s Ekléctika company. Both also appear in the announced programme of the fourth edition, devoted to women theatre directors.

Running from 27 to 30 October, the festival brings together six productions from five countries. Its programme next lists discussion of theatre criticism by women alongside Greek and French productions on 29 October, followed by Naïma Zitan’s “Dialy” on 30 October. Those forthcoming sessions remain scheduled events; their completion is not presumed.
