The story

Bejaia Theatre Festival in Bejaia

An October theatre festival in the Mediterranean port city of Bejaia, created by ministerial decree in 2009, pairing competitive performances by Algerian and international troupes with an academic symposium on a chosen annual theme, and expanded in recent editions to bring performances into towns across the wider Bejaia region.

A 2009 ministerial decree created the Bejaia International Theatre Festival, and the event has grown enough over its subsequent editions to include not only main-stage competitive performances by national and international troupes but also an accompanying academic symposium built around a specific theme each year, one recent edition organized in partnership with a university research center devoted to Amazigh language and culture examined the theme of theatre and resistance.
