Bob Festival

10 years Bob

Founded in 2008 by the AbOvo group, the popular Bob Theatre Festival invariably draws large crowds every May, enabling fledgling theatrical groups to experiment and showcase their work on the stage. This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the Bob Festival and on this special occasion it will be hosted by the Athens Festival. Thanks to this self-managing platform, the Athens & Epidaurus Festival audiences will be familiarized with this year’s crème de la crème of contemporary youth theatre, presented at Peiraios 260 E and H.  In Scratch Night, over twenty groups will present their work in progress in just fifteen minutes. Writing and performing from scratch on the spot, performers will be given the opportunity to demonstrate a trial version of their projects before a live audience and win a big prize. A youthful celebration of theatre, full of concerts, parties, competition and, of course, the best that this year’s youth theatre has to offer!
