The theme of the Festival is DIALOGUE and the aim of the festival is to promote peace through the medium of theatre; to initiate dialogue across borders; and to keep dialogue open. Together for theatre – together for peace!
Amateur Theatre groups of the highest artistic quality drawn from every genre, type and style of theatrical performance from all over the world are invited to attend for the entire festival.
