2026 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship 
Theater festival
In July 2025, the historic city of Fribourg will host a festival of medieval theatre: twelve performances, in various languages and presented by a variety of troupes professional and amateur, international and local, that represent the rich culture of early theatrical tradition in Europe and beyond. The programme will include rarely-performed Fribourg and Swiss plays; there will also be plays from further afield, from Italy to Iran. Detailed programme notes will enable audiences to understand productions in various languages; some productions will also be preceded by short introductory talks by scholars attending the International Medieval Theatre conference, with which the festival coincides. A public lecture on early Swiss drama will also be offered.
Thanks to generous sponsorship from, among others, the University of Fribourg and the Swiss National Science Foundation, entry to performances will be free to the public. For the latest updates on the festival, see http://iftm.ch/en
