75th Anniversary of UNIMA

Posted by hil

Yep, this year Union Internationale de la Marionnette, (UNIMA) is celebrating its 75th anniversary, making it the oldest theatrical association in the world.

The anniversary coincides with the 19th UNIMA World Congress which is to be held in Opatija, Croatia, from 7th to 11th June 2004, while the accompanying International Puppet Festival will be held in Rijeka from 6th to 12th June 2004.

Just a reminder too, that March 31st is the deadline for registration. Registration for the congress includes admittance to all shows accompanying the festival. There is also an option to register for attending the International Puppet Festival only, without participation in the work of the congress. The theme of the festival will be water in all its metaphorical and literal meanings.
