ABOUT THE FESTIVAL (sience 2006) Joakimfest is a festival of contemporary, modern, aesthetically, thematically and poetically referential theatre, which, through the selection of performances, strives to be visible not only in the local community but also in the wider region. Joakimfest celebrates and nurtures an aesthetically sophisticated, socially responsible, subversive and emancipatory theatre that tackles burning issues and phenomena of the time and the world in which we live. Since the founding of the festival until today, over 140 performances from 25 countries of the world have been performed at Joakimfest, in which more than 700 theatre creators have participated. All these years, the festival has been following with equal attention both well-known authors of the international and domestic theatre scene, as well as those young theatre creators who receive support and the possibility of their wider artistic affirmation at the Joakimfest in Kragujevac. The three-member international jury awards two prizes at the festival: the Grand Prix "Joakim Vujić" for the best overall performance and the Special Award of the City of Kragujevac. The host and organizer of the festival is the Princely-Serbian Theatre, and the main sponsor is the City of Kragujevac.
