The Conclusion makes recommendations for 'Festival Futures'. It consists, in part, of a kind of summary and compendium of 'wise practices' in hopes that it might ease the way at festivals to come for the kinds of transnational, intercultural, multilingual, and intersectional work that International Theatre Festivals and 21st-Century Interculturalism has set out to promote. The book ends where it began, reiterating its proposal of an alternative creation story for international theatre festivals in the communal, performative, inter-nation gatherings that predate the Festival of Dionysus and model a different kind of festival experience.
