The FIET (The Children’s and Youth Theater Fair of the Balearic Islands) has just been awarded the National Performing Arts Award for Children and Youth awarded by the Ministry of Culture and Sports. A distinction that comes just as Sa Xerxa de Teatre, the organization that organizes it, turns 20, like the FIET. This award, which is granted by the Government of Spain through the Institute of Performing Arts and Music (INAEM), is endowed with 30,000 euros.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Sa Xerxa de Teatre is organizing, this Saturday, September 8, a festive day with activities for the whole family from 11 am until 10 pm. (more information here)
