Organised by the Instituto de la juventud de Extremadura in collaboration with the Consorcio Patronato del Festival internacional de Teatro clásico de Mérida.
Mérida, the capital of Extremadura in western Spain, was founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC. Remains of the ancient city, such as the Roman theatre, still remain. This theatre is still in operation and has two rows of columns on the stage. Its 792 m Roman bridge spans the Guadiana River until it joins the Alcazaba, the 9th century Islamic fortress built on top of the Roman walls.

Agusto en Merida (Comfortable at Merida) is a festival inside the Classical Theatre Festival of Merida, in which there are workshops based on the rehearsing and performance of a classical themed play, without forgetting new ways of staging. This is where our International Dramatic Arts Workcamp participates, building a contemporary and multicultural performance from greek tragedies.
In this Workcamp not everything will be rehearsing and performing. On your free time you will be able to assist to performances that take place in the Roman Theatre and in other archeological sites in Merida.
