After the festival explored the boundaries between reality and falsification in 2013 and the staging of the public sphere in 2015, the third edition of "It's The Real Thing" focuses on the dark clown of documentary: satire.

Originally an art form that mocks reality, it seems to have become the paradigm of the present. Satire is the constant simulation of the crisis. It does not simply depict reality, but exaggerates, polemicises, caricatures, irritates and shifts the boundaries of what can be represented and said or dissolves them completely. It is the documentary at fever pitch. It is about the one raw material that everyone is fighting for today: attention.

With theatre performances, dance shows, performances, lectures, workshops, discussions, parties and an exhibition.
