The International Theatre Institute (ITI) is thrilled to announce the World Theatre Day 2025 Main Celebration, taking place from March 27 to 30 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Since its establishment on March 27, 1962, World Theatre Day has been ITI’s flagship event, bringing together theatre enthusiasts worldwide to honor the cultural significance of the performing arts.

This landmark celebration, held under the patronage of UNESCO and co-organized by ITI and the Brazilian Centre of ITI, will showcase an exciting lineup of performances from Brazil, South Korea, China, Thailand, Chile, and more. The event will emphasize artists' rights and strengthening the connection between South America and ITI, alongside workshops, panels, and discussions on key topics such as artistic legacy, cultural heritage, employment opportunities in theatre, and the role of international collaborations in social development.
