From July 8 to 13, Vilnius University Culture Center will host the XIII AITU-IUTA World Congress, a major international event for researchers, artists, educators, independent scientists, practitioners, and students.
The central theme is "University Theatre in the Time of Global Challenges". With this theme, the organizers invite participants to explore how theatre responds to urgent contemporary issues, such as the climate crisis, political instability, war, the influence of AI, etc. This is a unique opportunity to connect with peers, share your creative insights, and contribute to a crucial global dialogue.
The congress will be accompanied by the International University Theater Festival, which will provide university theater troupes with a special platform to showcase their work to an international audience.
The International University Theatre Festival will run alongside the Congress, providing university theatre troupes with a dedicated platform to showcase their work and integrate into the global theatre community.
Please note that the deadline for all submissions is November 1, 2025. For detailed information and to submit your proposal, please visit the official Congress website here. Updates are also available by following the official Congress accounts on Facebook and Instagram.
