The 3rd International Forest Festival blazes theatrical trails between people and places, both within Thessaloniki and internationally. The participating artists and theatres from around the world can meet each other and their audiences and build a network for creative exchange. Given the singular conditions ushered in by the pandemic, the Festival's artistic committee—which consists of Savvas Patsalidis (emeritus professor of Theatre Studies at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, theatre critic), Prodromos Tsinikoris (director, playwright, actor), and Nikos Kapelios (actor at the NTNG)—selected examples of theatrical thought and action which represent the most up-to-date quests of the European and international stage.
