The Week of New European Drama

At this conference, ETC members focused on freedom of artistic expression and new writing. A key element was the ENGAGE Festival, on 10th June, which featured the English language-premiere of new texts by the authors Patty Kim Hamilton, Casper Vanderputte and Ondřej Novotný. Alongside the Young Europe Festival, To:gather, these events constituted ETC’s week-long celebration of new writing: The Week of New European Drama.
