Theatre of Realities is held for a week in Mali. The city of Sikasso, in the south-east of the country, is hosting the sixteenth edition of this event.

This year's theme: "Crying Out Your Roots" The festival welcomes Malian, Burkinabè, Ivorian, Nigerien and Guinean companies. But this year, no European companies due to the political and security context, which is also on the festival program. The festival ends at the end of the week.
