about

Norma is the theatre and contemporary art festival held in Ostrava. Norma is organised by gallery PLATO Ostrava and by Studio Hrdinů, a Prague based theatre.

The Norma festival presents original theatre projects dealing with trends and topics that have been of concern to European artists across generations and theatre genres. An important dimension of the festival is the close interconnection between theatre and visual arts, apparent in both particular theatre productions and visual art performances. This relationship is mutually beneficial: it is common for conceptual artists to reach beyond the range of the visual arts and thus theatre presents an exciting challenge for them; on the other hand, theatre-makers can find inspiration, transcend their field and discover an open-minded and fresh approach to their work.

The next edition will take place in November 2019.
