The Sibiu International Theatre Festival has transformed the local and regional community and has become, in 32 years, a landmark event at an international level. It has also contributed decisively to the establishment of the performing arts department at the Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu.

U.talk is an event that takes place daily, connected to the Universities Festival and the International Platform of Doctoral Research in the Fields of Performing Arts and Cultural Management.

During this discussion session, theatre schools participating in the festival meet with doctoral students and doctoral supervisors, as well as professionals in the field involved in education, to discuss and analyze the productions presented to the public the previous day. Also, for each participating institution, U.talk offers the opportunity to recommend themselves and present their strategies in terms of artistic education, scientific research and artistic creation. The aim of U.talk is to set up a space for international academic dialogue, devoided of formality, as well as to create an active hub, beneficial to networking and future university projects and exchanges.

U.talk aims to be a bridge between the theatre school festival and the doctoral platform, in the generous context of the Sibiu International Theatre Festival. FITS has transformed the local and regional community and has become, in 32 years, a landmark event at an international level. It has also contributed decisively to the establishment of the Sibiu School of Theatre and Cultural Management.

Moderator: Ion M. Tomuș
