Girona International Amateur Theatre Festival

FITAG is an annual event that has been held in the city of Girona since 1992. The festival is organised by the Diputació de Girona and is dedicated to amateur theatre, hosting theatre troupes from all over the world who perform their plays in front of an audience and theatre professionals.

FITAG 2023 Programme (not available)

After years of FITAG’s history as we know it, now comes a time of change. For the first time ever, the festival goes outdoors. And it does so with the intention of extending its reach even further and bringing grassroots theatre closer not only to people who are already engaged with it but also to passers-by and curious people who a priori are not familiar with it. With a varied programme and special care in terms of content, the festival will strive to reflect the cultural diversity suggested by the word international in the festival’s name. It will also ensure that the meaning of the word amateur is an inherent quality of FITAG. Since amateur means ‘one who loves‘, we must love not only the art of theatre but also life, people and the world.

Theatre companies from around the world

FITAG features a selection of theatre companies from other regions of the country and from the international scene, which promotes an interesting and solid cultural exchange and strengthens connections in order to create a circuit that transcends borders and oceans.

Promotion of amateur theatre

Girona opens up the city’s stages to grassroots theatre. Year after year, amateur actors meet with their audiences at Girona’s international amateur theatre festival, FITAG. Local theatre companies and troupes from the rest of Spain and all over the world showcase their talent and creativity in front of an enthusiastic audience.

A space for encounters and exchanges

FITAG is a space for encounters and exchanges that contributes to the enrichment of culture and art both locally and globally. During the course of the festival, opportunities are created for debate, coexistence, and exchange of experiences, ideas and knowledge among the participants. This is a unique opportunity to bring together national and international amateur theatre.

Workshops and activities

The FITAG programme is complemented by activities and workshops aimed at participating companies and the general public. In doing so, it opens up the range of activities to educational and participatory workshops that enrich the experience of participants and audiences. This also helps bring theatre closer to citizens from an experiential approach.

Fitag de Nits (FITAG’s Nights)

FITAG de Nits is the most open and participative stage of the festival. A nocturnal space designed for actors and audience to come together and share experiences. From midnight onwards, FITAG becomes a variety theatre. The marquee becomes a space open to the participation of all those who want to contribute an artistic intervention to the festival.

FITAG als Municipis (FITAG’s Towns)

FITAG als Municipis is a section that combines the charm of theatre with the spirit of cultural exchange and the visibility of the territory beyond the city of Girona. In this spirit of coexistence, two companies, one foreign and one local, share a day of cultural and artistic exchange in each of the towns taking part in this experience.
