24-Hour Non-Stop Theatre Marathon – Call for Volunteers

Theatre Studio 4xC

Sofia, Bulgaria

Description

The volunteering mission is between February 17 and April 17. Suitable for young people between 18 and 30 years old. 24-Hour Non-Stop Theatre Marathon is a social experiment that explores the power of theatre to bring people together in an unusual, intense and transformative way. For 24 hours, without the right to sleep, we will play with theatre, through theatre and inside theatre. It is a collective artistic journey that challenges limits, builds community and creates a unique shared experience.

Participants will be provided with accommodation for the duration of the activity. The accommodation is shared, with participants staying in rooms with roommates. Food expenses and daily personal costs are covered through a daily allowance of 16 EUR per participant, intended for meals and pocket money.
