The story

Casablanca International University Theatre Festival in Casablanca

FITUC, the International Festival of University Theatre of Casablanca, has run since 1988 under Hassan II University's Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences Ben M'sik, and ranks among the world's leading university-theatre platforms. The 38th edition ran July 4-9, 2026, exploring university theater as a space for youth interaction across the Mediterranean-Atlantic region, with participants from Italy, Spain, Armenia, Egypt, Tunisia, Palestine and Morocco.

Hassan II University of Casablanca has run an international university theatre festival since 1988, an unusually long run for an event built entirely around student performers rather than professional companies.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few university theatre festivals have run continuously since 1988, and FITUC's longevity gives it a standing among the world's leading platforms for student performance

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than showcasing professional companies, the festival is built entirely around young performers and student theatre troupes, with each edition drawing university groups from across the Mediterranean and Atlantic regions, recent participants spanning Italy, Spain, Armenia, Egypt, Tunisia and Palestine alongside Moroccan universities

03

The city starts moving

Its explicit mission, building networks between young directors, artists and students worldwide, gives the festival a mentorship and exchange character distinct from festivals focused on established theatre professionals, and its base at Hassan II University ties it directly into Morocco's academic theatre scene
