The Prishtina International Theater Festival was founded in June 2017, on the premises of AAB Theater “Faruk Begolli”, which operates within the AAB College in Pristina.
This year’s festival pays tribute to Kosovar director Burbuqe Berisha, who served as the festival’s artistic director in previous years and died a year ago.
The festival’s goal is to showcase high-quality theatrical productions from around the world while also encouraging participants to share their opinions, ideas, projects, experiences, and future collaborations.
