The story

Bissau Theatre Festival in Bissau

Bissau Theatre Festival centers on DJINTIS, an international performing arts festival organized by the Portuguese NGO VIDA, structured around a symbolic element each edition, earth for the first and earth-fire for the second, drawing participants from over a dozen countries across multiple Bissau-area venues including a satellite site in Quinhamel each edition.

Bissau Theatre Festival corresponds most concretely to DJINTIS, the Festival Internacional de Artes Cenicas de Bissau, an international performing arts festival organized under the Ur-GENTE project by the Portuguese NGO VIDA.
