You can find more information about previous editions at: www.teszt.ro
Our main focus for 2019 is: new theatre aesthetics, contemporary writers, alternative and new forms of performing arts and challenging subjects in this ever-changing world.

We will not accept applications for performances which had their premiere after November 15th 2018.
