The idea of celebration, that is what I feel, that feeling of people coming together from different parts of the country, from different parts of the world to share their own artistic expression, get the feedback from the people; for example we have performed this show today, yesterday was another team, we have seen their performance, we’d like to talk to them and ask them for a feedback to our show, so that is something that happens in a completely different perspective. When we played this performance in our own culture and context, there is a specific response that we get, but people from different countries… how they work and it can give some amazing artistic insights, That is why I think that is a major contribution of a festival to a show.
