The play
<\/em>In the gloomy castle of Escurial, the queen lies dying. The dogs are howling wildly, the bells are ringing and the king is preparing for the funeral ceremony. In order to cope with the hand which fate has dealt him, the sovereign must become a sad king. He calls on his jester, Folial. Thanks to him, he has already discovered the power of laughter; now he needs to learn how to weep tears of sorrow. In return for his trouble, the jester will be granted the greatest reward of all: the truth about his murderous jester king.

RITU<\/strong>\u00a0was set up in 1983. Since then, Li\u00e8ge has provided the venue for almost 130 university theatre troupes from around fifty countries, including Poland. The festival is one of the oldest in Europe – in fact, it is one of the oldest in the world – and its global renown is undisputed. Performances are often given alongside academic conferences on the theme of making cross-cultural theatre in a university setting. In 1994, the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Royal Universitaire de Li\u00e8ge founded the Association International du Th\u00e9\u00e2tre \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 (AITU) over which it presided from its creation until 2008. Eight global congresses have been organised since: in Li\u00e8ge, Valleyfield (Quebec), Dakar (Senegal), Krakow (Poland), Olympia (Greece), Urbino (Italy), Puebla (Mexico), and Leicester (United Kingdom). The 9th congress took place in Minsk in June 2012.<\/p>\n

Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l\u2019Entr\u2019Acte
<\/strong><\/em>Although it hails from Krakow, the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l\u2019Entr\u2019Acte, is a French-speaking theatre which was founded in 1993 by Janina and Krzysztof B\u0142o\u0144ski. Since it was set up, it has played a pivotal role in organising the Festival International de Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Universitaire en Langue Fran\u00e7aise de Cracovie (International Festival of University Theatre in the French Language) which ran from1992 until 2008, followed by the Journ\u00e9es du th\u00e9\u00e2tre francophone \u00e0 Cracovie (Krakow Francophone Theatre Days) which began in 2009, in collaboration with the Institut Fran\u00e7ais in Krakow. The troupe\u2019s twenty performances, given by students from the French department of the Pedagogical University of Krakow, as well as people who have already graduated but wished to continue putting on plays in French, have been shown in Poland and abroad.<\/p>\n
