MUN Theatre

The MUN Theater hosts the best plays created and performed by university theater companies following a year of training and learning under the guidance of Liuba Cid (Theater Training Program). It’s an opportunity to discover how the best young talent transforms the challenge of creation into true theatrical excellence.

And if you want to get the most out of the experience, you can attend guided rehearsals of the plays and participate in the “Behind the Scenes” sessions to see how your fellow participants have overcome the creative challenges of each production and share your own perspective.
