NATIONAL ART FESTIVAL

At the beginning of July, the National Art Festival is held in Grahamstown, a small town inland in the south-east of the country. It is the biggest and most interesting theatrical event of the year, as all the country's troupes come to perform, from large companies to small alternative structures. The theatre is put in the spotlight. This art is a real vector of integration in South Africa, especially for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
