In the Romanian city of Alexandria, the 13th edition of the Ideo Ideis Festival was celebrated with the participation of all, from guests to authorities. According to actor and co-founder Alexandru Ion, the relationship with local authorities has been very good and it is a wish for the city to have a professional theatre and a performance hall. The theme for this year's festival is humorously based on the lack of a performance hall, but the organizers hope for a brighter future. The festival has grown in the 13 years since its inception, as have the founders, Alexandru Ion and Andreea Borțun. They remember the early days of the festival with nostalgia and admire the changes that have occurred, especially in the younger generation. The festival brings together people from different ages and backgrounds to enjoy theatre, even in a city without a dedicated theatre. The festival organizers look forward to a successful and professional future for the festival and their city.
