The International Festival of Homeless Theatres, ERROR, is the main artistic output of the project. It features public performances by theatre, dance, and music groups composed of people with lived experience of homelessness, disability, mental illness, and other forms of exclusion. At least six performances will be presented during the two-day event, with participation from all V4 countries and at least one guest group from outside the region (e.g., Italy).
The ERROR Conference is a vital part of the project, offering a unique platform for leaders of theatre groups, NGOs, individual artists, and cultural activists to connect, share, and collaborate. As a half-day event, it provides a focused and intensive space to present work, exchange methodologies, and plan future cooperation. For many working with homeless and vulnerable people, this conference is the only opportunity in the year to engage internationally and in such depth. This year, the conference will feature a new element: a keynote lecture by an academic researcher from the Art Research Centre of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV), an expert in theatre and its societal impact.
