Watch what happens when a tragicomedy takes place in a modern-day Europe setting. An impressive 52 countries will be putting on their own shows competing for the coveted title of “Best European Show”. Meanwhile, a jury is tasked with the difficult task of choosing the European Theatre Festival’s first winner, which is modelled after the Eurovision Song Contest. What they don’t know is that the task at hand is much more difficult than anyone could have predicted. 

Tension builds with every second that goes by, as the stakes get higher and higher. Almost anything that can go wrong does, and anarchy breaks out just when it looks like everything is under control. The final evening turns into a mess of unanticipated turns. Enjoy an engrossing tale of politics, personal aspirations, romantic liaisons, and bold artistic ideals emerges as the pivotal night draws near.

However, the drama continues off stage. All of a sudden, the European theatre landscape is completely upended, and the audience is an essential component of the show. Prepare yourself for an intense emotional rollercoaster where laughter and tragedy meet and forever change the landscape of European theatre. 

This European spectacle will bring together theatre makers from Italy, Kosovo, Poland, Slovenia, and of course Malta.
