FAKI Festival – International Festival of Alternative Theatrical Expression is calling for artists, activists, researchers and theatre critics to participate in its next edition happening in Zagreb, Croatia from 25 to 31 May 2027.
The 30th edition of the FAKI Festival is celebrating more than a festival anniversary. Thirty years of FAKI also marks three decades of the organisation behind it: thirty years of self-organisation, collective work, artistic experimentation, friendships, disagreements, persistence and survival. This milestone invites us to pause, not out of nostalgia, but to ask what it means to celebrate today.
The festival is interested in works that approach celebration not only as a subject, but also as a method: as a way of making, sharing and experiencing art together.
The FAKI Festival will support with the following:
- Travel costs up to 200 EUR for individuals and up to 500 EUR for groups, with preference given to sustainable means of transport (bus, train, shared car)
- Shared accommodation on-site at AKC Medika and healthy vegan lunches and dinners during the festival
- Basic technical support (light, sound, and other wonders)
- Photo and video documentation of the performances
- Public relations and media presence via the festival network
- Rehearsal space/residency (if needed)
- Dramaturgy support and/or feedback (if needed)
