This year's edition of Bitef will be held from October 3rd to 10th in Belgrade, and the audience can expect nine performances in the main programme. Among them are award-winning European plays, bold theatrical outings by increasingly successful young forces, as well as the best of domestic theater production.
Promotional ticket sales will begin on Wednesday, August 30th at 7 p.m. On that day, tickets will be available at a special discount of 20% at the After Work Matinee organized by Bitef and the Kišobran collective at the Sprat bar at Cetinjska Street No.15, as well as via the festival website.
After that, online ticket sales at the aforementioned 20% discount will last until September 10th at 11:59 p.m. After that date, tickets will be available on the festival website at a 10% discount.
