ULICA 29: Międzynarodowy Festiwal Teatrów Ulicznych [Street 29: International Festival of Street Theatres] by Teatr KTO

ULICA 29, the 29th annual international street theatre festival in Kraków, Poland, highlighted increasing nationalism and political tensions in Europe despite its theme of carnival. The festival, organized by Teatr KTO, featured a reduced international participation compared to previous years, notably lacking representation from Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, which underscored the broader geopolitical climate. While the number of participating theatres increased to 44, with over 200 performers and an estimated 100,000 viewers, the event's focus on Polish theatre reflected growing nationalist sentiments across Europe. Performances, such as Teatr KTO's 'Peregrinus,' challenged spectators' space and explored themes of displacement and managed labor, resonating with Poland's and Central/Eastern Europe's socio-political context.
