new theatrical trends 73

this year bitef will run on the general theme of new theatre tendencies, after three bitefs dedicated to special themes, the time has again come to offer the bitef public a wide panorama of new trends in the theatres of the world which vary so much that they cannot be forcibely subjected to any kind of formula, these new phenomena which are born daily in theatres throughout the world also take place in the ancient theatre houses of europe such as the burgtheater as well as the national ensembles of africa which base their art on ancient rituals, and in the new troupes born every season, which shine and either live on or die out as fast as they appeared.
