Homo Novus festival this autumn — performances at a cemetery and in the dunes
The Homo Novus theatre festival will run from September 4 to 12, with this year's theme centered on respite and a conscious slowing of life's pace. The program includes performances staged in unconventional locations such as a cemetery and sand dunes.
This autumn, from September 4 to 12, the annual Homo Novus theatre festival will take place, continuing its tradition of offering audiences unconventional theatrical experiences each fall.
This year's edition is built around the theme of respite and a deliberate slowing down of everyday life's pace — a motif that also shapes the program itself. Organizers note that the festival each year seeks new ways to bring audiences face to face with theatre outside its usual format.
Performances in unusual settings
This time, the program includes performances staged outside traditional theatre venues — among them a cemetery and the sand dunes. Such an approach allows audiences to experience productions in settings that themselves become part of the performance, creating a different and more intense encounter with the art form.
Festival organizers emphasize that the program includes several examples of this kind of alternative theatrical experience, distinct from conventional stage productions. This willingness to experiment with venues and formats has become something of a signature for Homo Novus in recent years.
The festival will run for nine days, and its organizers invite audiences to use the opportunity to experience theatre as a space to pause and slow down the pace of daily life.
