ABOUT THE WORLD THEATRE DAY
World Theatre Day was
initiated in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute (ITI).
It is celebrated annually on the 27th March by ITI Centres and the
international theatre community.
Various
national and international theatre events are organized for this occasion. One
of the most important of these events is the World Theatre Day Message through which at the invitation of ITI, a
famous artist shares his or her reflections on the theme of Theatre and a Culture of Peace.
This
message is translated into more than 50
languages, read for thousands of spectators before performances in theatres
throughout the world, and printed in hundreds of daily newspapers. The first World Theatre Day Message was
written by Jean Cocteau in 1962.
Ever
since, each year on the 27th March, World Theatre Day has been celebrated in
many and varied ways by ITI Centres - of which there are now more than 90
throughout the world. Moreover theatres, theatre professionals, theatre lovers,
theatre universities, academies and schools celebrate it as well.
Colleagues
in the audio-visual field lend a fraternal hand, with more than a hundred radio and television stations
transmitting the Message to listeners in all corners of the five continents.
