Humour, as you might guess, is not all fun and games. During three days and nights in Nida the participants of the Symposium applied various approaches, some of which were experimental or improvisational, to reflect in one way or another on how we employ humour as a medium to ponder social, ecological, (cultural)-political complexities as well as the absurd situations they generate. 

Since Inter-format Symposium, as the name suggests, is an interdisciplinary event, the (human) audience witnessed not only lectures, some jokes here and there, and performances, but participated in a guided walk, were encouraged to reach full consciousness of their animality and had the chance to listen to some musical pieces.
