World Theatre Day is the
creation of 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 to
mark this occasion. One of the most important of these is the circulation of
the World Theatre Day International Message through which at the invitation of
ITI, a figure of world stature shares his or her reflections on the theme of
Theatre and a Culture of Peace. The first World Theatre Day International
Message was written by Jean Cocteau (France) in 1962.
Each year a figure
outstanding in theatre or a person outstanding in heart and spirit from another
field, is invited to share his or her reflections on theatre and international
harmony. What is known as the International Message is translated into more
than 20 languages, read for tens of thousands of spectators before performances
in theatres throughout the world and printed in hundreds of daily newspapers.
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.
