The Grec is to watch... and to learn! It doesn't take much to become an active spectator - and it's up to you!
The Grec proposes various ways of engaging with festival activities. For instance, you can register to take part in the “spectator workshops” and make an exclusive, participative study of certain productions. These workshops provide spectators with tools to make in-depth analyses of several shows that form part of the Grec programme, enabling participants to go up on stage, speak to the artists, attend rehearsals…
Moreover, if you don’t have so much time but would like to make brief forays to get to the heart of a particular production, you can sign up for the “Prèvia-post” initiative. This activity revolves around “pre-post” sessions to place shows in context, after which participants attend the performance before having a chance to talk about it with the company concerned.
