Review on Joakimfest

Joakimfest is an international theatre festival held every fall in Kragujevac, during the second week of October (till 2019 Joakim Inter Fest). The festival was established in 2006 by a theatre director Dragan Jakovljevi, who was back then the managing director of Knjaevsko-srpski teatar. Since then, the festival has been going through various periods of ups and downs, seeking a solid concept. At the beginning of 2019, when Slobodan Savi, an esteemed theatre critic from Belgrade was elected the curator and artistic director, radical changes have been made in the structure and concept of Joakimfest. Today, this is a festival of contemporary, modern, socially, aesthetically, and poetically relevant theatre which with its selection of plays strives for visibility and recognition not only in its local community but in the entire country and the wider region. It has a Euro-regional concept, based on a selection of plays in full accord with modern performance and theatre-related practices. Joakimfest celebrates and fosters aesthetically sophisticated, socially responsible, subversive, and emancipatory theatre which grapples with burning issues and phenomena of the world and the times we live in.
