The IYMC Alternative Stage is an artistic undertaking for youth, initiated in 2012. Present­ing niche music, poetry, theatri­cal and artistic activities to young people is a response to that which is readily available, but increasing­ly commercialized. Each edition of the project consists of the “The­ater Stop”, the “Anti-Poetry Salon”, and the “Niche Sound Studio”. It attracts many young enthusiasts of art and music thanks to the presence of prominent artists from the cutting edge of culture.
