The 2024 Aranya Theater Festival will kick off in Qinhuangdao, north China’s Hebei Province on June 20. This year’s edition will feature 29 plays from around the globe. For the first time, nine artistic directors from theater festivals in eight countries – including France, Austria, Japan and Australia – will bring their productions to China. As 2024 marks the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, several theatrical works led by French directors and actors will highlight the cultural exchanges between the two countries on the festival stage. The event will run until June 30.
