FEATS is a pan-European celebration of theatre and an unmissable opportunity to immerse oneself in theatrical experience,  enjoying the variety on offer both on the Main Stage and The Fringe, the festival ’off’ programme. It is a 4-day event with 3 groups  performing on the Main Stage each evening, followed by a public evaluation of the performances by an experienced professional  theatre practitioner who, on the last night, will also offer a summary of the festival highlights. In 2022, FEATS will be a festival of  renewal under the banner theme of Changing Times. Following the example of the Mersch dragon, FEATS will ensure that myth,  story-telling and dreamspinning are dramatically present in the Mierscher Kulturhaus over the Ascension weekend from 26th to 29th of May 2022.
