Design objectives



These answers come from my research and interview made with the members of team  which are organising this event.  


What is the proposition?

The Comedy Festival will offer exclusive comedy shows from 7 cities by twining the neighboring countries into a week of culture followed by many cultural activities that will develop further our city values by highlighting it’s strengths on art, culture, ethnology, 
local gastronomy and handicrafts.

What is the overall goal of the design project?

We aim to turn this festival in an annual tradition for the city. We aspire to revive the numerous cultural activities, entertainment, artistic and ethnological experiences by twinning the individual experiences of culture and art representatives. We aim to preserve our identity on culture and tradition, whereas these social values ​​are the basis for human action. Our main goal is to promote the city values by maintaining and endorsing its identity, culture and tradition. This idea is followed by sub points or secondary effects that this identity endorsement will bring such as an increased knowledge and appreciation for culture and art around the region. The festival will add a value to our artistic heritage by increasing the awareness among citizens and also by expanding the cultural tourism activities.

What are you trying to communicate and why?

By protecting the values of art and culture and encouraging their development this project serves as a medium for promoting the city and its identity transmission. Expect the comedy genre as a collaborative form, the festival will provide music and various activities that will enhance the citizens’ and visitors’ experience. 

Who are your competitors?
What do they do well and what are their weaknesses?

1. “Festival of Comedy” takes place in Mitrovica, northern of Kosovo.
2. “Comedy Days” takes place in Preseva, southern Serbia. 
Both these festivals are local and are not promoted internationally. They are local because their comedy shows come only from local city theaters. Whereas, something positive is that these festivals have established a local tradition for their activity for last 9 years.

How do you differ from competitors?

Based on our research , the theatre performances in our city do not have the needed support to develop and advance further. We want to support this collaborative form and by organizing this event with comedy shows we will give life to the theatre itself and the city in general. This festival is unique among other festivals because it focuses only on the comedy genre and what makes it more distinct is the idea that it will have a national nature, gathering teams from 7 different cities from other countries in the region and creating a sort of positive 
vibe of unity through our culture 
in the 100th anniversary of our state.
