XIth Triennial Colloquium (SITM)

August 9-14, 2004. Elx, Spain
http://parnaseo.uv.es/Ars/webelx/elx.htm

The business meeting held in Groningen on 7 July 2001 decided that the XIth Colloquium would take place in Elx coinciding with the celebration of the Festa d'Elx, on 14 and 15 August, 2004. The Festa d'Elx, recently declared a monument of Human Oral Heritage by UNESCO, is a two-part play of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, sung in early Catalan that has been performed annually in Elx since the late Middle Ages.

Participants in the SITM Colloquium will be able to see the Festa d'Elx, as well as other peripheral events associated with it, because colloquium sessions will be scheduled taking account of all the events that constitute the city's major festivity in the first two weeks of August, comprising, among others, the traditional parades of "moors and christians".
