Auditorium

The auditorium is dark and air-conditioned, so it can feel quite cool. Please bring warm clothing, hearing protection if needed, and stay hydrated – a reusable water bottle is an excellent companion.

Please note that the use of alcohol or other intoxicating substances is prohibited inside the auditorium and throughout the festival area.

Please be kind to yourself and to those around you. Thank you!
