The first online forum of the UNDER 600 platform will be held on January 31, 2025, at 6:00 PM. The goal is to create the UNDER 600 platform for the independent theater sector in the Western Balkans. Štrih (Skopje, Macedonia), and its partners DAH Theater and Korifej Theater (Kolašin, Montenegro) enable networking and collaboration opportunities and promote independent theater productions to increase visibility and attract new audiences in the Western Balkans. Supported by the British Council. The title of the lecture will be: Under the Microscope of Sustainability: How to Develop Independent Theater for Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.

Speakers: Biljana Radinoska – a theater director who runs an independent theater in and outside of Macedonia, Petar Antevski, producer and president of the independent theater Presrt, and Ivica Dimitrijević – an actor from the Macedonian National Theater who also has his own independent production.

On March 21st and 29th, two more online conversations with regional artists await us. The platform will be presented in June at the ART AND HUMAN RIGHTS festival, DAH Theater, from June 10th to 13th, 2025.

Project supported by the British Council.
