The program for this 11th holding of the festival presented 45 works that use artistic imagination to confront the explosive conflicts and wars occurring along various borders of our world. One of the prominent voices in the next-generation Spanish theatre landscape, El Conde del Torrefiel sits dozens of young European residents on the stage and gives physical expression to their individual everyday activities and meanwhile projects to the audience in subtitle form their sometimes shocking inner thoughts and emotions while involved in the seemingly peaceful activities. The Iranian trans-gender writer Sorour Darabi takes the fact that his/her native language Farsi makes no distinction on the basis of gender to take a new look at his/her own trans-gender physicality. Belgian director Sarah Vanhee creates a performance made with seven children between eight and eleven by posing them questions too complex for them to have any possibility of answering from their own experience, which forces them to resort to their imagination to create alternative logic in which there is place again for wonder. Among the other works presented are the work NASSIM, performed by Nassim Soleimanpour and Bush Theatre that also appeared in Japan at Festival/Tokyo.
