The Municipality of Messina will organise the "11th International Ancient Drama Youth Festival. Ancient Messina 2024" from 10 to 25 April 2024 at the Ancient Theatre of Messina and the Church Hall.
The festival focuses on the presentation of works of ancient Greek or Latin drama (tragedy or comedy); it is not competitive and its purpose is the essential—experiential contact of young people with ancient drama and cultural heritage. Theatre groups of Secondary Education schools have the right to participate in the festival. Each theatre group, made up exclusively of students, must not exceed 25 people (including accompanying teachers).
From 2024, theatre groups can participate in the festival with a dramatisation (theatrical presentation and not a theatrical recitation) of a rhapsody or composition of rhapsodes from Homer's "Iliad" or "Odyssey" or from Lucian's satirical "Dead Dialogues".
The duration of this theatrical performance should be between 45 and 60 minutes.
