The First Edition Of The African University Theatre Festival

The first edition of the African University Theatre Festival takes place under the slogan ''Africa meets on the stages of university theatre'' at the Algerian National Theatre in Algiers, Algeria, on July 13, 2026, with the participation of 13 African countries. The play ''Magie autorisee'' is set in a symbolic space led by a witch and her assistant, where magic serves as a metaphor revealing hidden mechanisms that control society and reshape human consciousness through the portrayal of various characters such as unemployed individuals, women, social media influencers, politicians, and ordinary citizens.
