The Performance Reviews section continues to fulfill the two basic tasks that international criticism sets for itself.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, critics report from performances and festivals in their home countries. Since Critical Stages<\/em> has already reached its 8th<\/sup> issue, it means that the journal has been steadily following some major directors, playwrights and festivals for some time now. It is a pleasure to read critics who, over the years, have fine-tuned their tools of receptivity toward these theatre-makers. Also, I invite you to take a look at earlier issues and compare how certain directors have been understood or misunderstood by different critics.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, critics continue to report from visits to foreign festivals. The journalistic novelty in this issue is a correspondence about the Sarajevo festival, where the dialogue alternates between English and French, the two languages of IATC.<\/p>\n

It would seem that festivals manage to produce a spirit of artistic survival against declining funding in times of economic difficulties. It is invigorating to enjoy that atmosphere, critically of course.<\/p>\n
