PROJECT: The International Youth Festival of Classical Theater is the most important theater event dedicated to future generations on the national and international scene. Since 1991 the performances take place in the Greek Theater of Akrai in Palazzolo, where boys and girls of all ages present very original interpretations of classical Greek and Latin texts, during an event whose strengths are participation and being together. The purpose is to support the management of the festival and the 80 schools that will participate in the festival. The volunteers of the workcamps will take care of the reception of the young actors who will play in those days. The aim is to coordinate the whole event only with a young and motivated group of people, who will have during the experience the opportunity to match with more than 1600 actors/young people from all over the world. The festival will be run from May 16 to June 7 and two turns of workcamp will be organized.
