Located in Rennes (France), ETC Member Théâtre National de Bretagne (TNB) is run by the actor and stage director Arthur Nauzyciel. Accorded the titles Centre for the Dramatic Arts and European Centre for the Theatrical and Choreographic Production, TNB brings together a cinema, a national drama school and an annual multidisciplinary festival in November.

From 18 to 23 November 2024, Festival TNB presented French and international productions, aiming to erase the boundaries between disciplines, to encourage audiences to circulate freely between genres, and to build new links between theatre, dance, cinema, visual arts, and music.

At the heart of the TNB Festival, the TRANSMISSION programme is an opportunity to meet, connect and train, dedicated to young French and foreign artists who are still undergoing training or starting their professional career. This programme is made up of 2 different sessions, both including multidisciplinary workshops, shows and privileged gatherings with the Festival’s artists.

Through our Next Theatre Generation programme, ETC supported three scholars' participation in TRANSMISSION.
