33 years ago, the intuition of director and popularizer Giampiero Cubeddu led to the creation of a festival attentive to identity values and different languages, ranging from classic to contemporary. The Ethnic and Theatrical Festival offers 11 shows this year: from 29 September to 23 March. The presentation was held this morning on the terrace of the Astra Theater in Sassari, which will host Sardinian and national companies on stage.
It starts on Friday at 9pm with "La Brea", a novelty offered by the home company, Teatro Sassari, which stages an unpublished work by Giovanni Enna with a lively dialogue-clash between Mario Lubino and Alessandra Spiga. Repeat on Saturday at the same time and Sunday at 7pm.
