Constantin Chiriac reviewed the most important special events and: “It is an unprecedented edition. It was hard for me to believe that we could overcome an anniversary edition like last year's. Friendship has probably brought with us so many important names from John Malkovich to Pippo Delbono, from Tim Robbins to Sasha Waltz, from Mikhail Baryshnikov to Isabelle Adjani, from Neil LaBute to Jan Fabre. There are so many that we haven't mentioned yet, so we invite the public to discover the program on the website and in the FITS app, to follow all our communication channels, because we are trying to adapt our message on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn or the FITS Blog.” said the President of FITS, Constantin Chiriac.
Constantin Chiriac also spoke about the other sections whose program is available on the Festival website (sibfest.ro): Performances-lectures (7 scheduled events), Press Conferences and Special Conferences (22 events), Exhibitions (191 events ), Visual Arts Platform (PAV), Therme Forum, Book launches (22 events), and to which the public is eagerly awaited.
This year's edition will also include a rich French season, which will celebrate the 100 years of the French Institute in Romania, as well as an extensive Polish season, which will offer a preview of the Romania-Poland Cultural Season 2024-2025.
