Barcelona, from 18 to 20 November 2024

This is not another congress about the audiences. It is the only international meeting of, by, and for theatre spectators, who are art and part.

A unique opportunity to learn first-hand the needs, desires, concerns, and beliefs of performing arts spectators.

The aim of the International Congress of Theater Spectators is to summon spectators to recover their leading role in the performing arts value chain and rethink their future role.
