It includes a range of performances such as themed cabaret shows, one-person productions, and workshops, all aimed at fostering community dialogue and enriching the artistic landscape. This series also serves as a platform for creative experimentation, allowing for both planned and spontaneous projects that complement ETC’s mainstage season.
