The above Greek theater groups in Belgium are thus organizing a joint celebration of World Theater Day for the fourth time in 2024, after a three-year break due to the pandemic. This day is every year on March 27, established in 1962 by the International Theater Institute, the most important international non-governmental organization in the field of theater art, established in 1948 in Prague, at the initiative of UNESCO, and celebrated in more than 100 Countries. The principles we all honor together on this day are the role of theater in society, its contribution to the mutual understanding of individuals and peoples and the exercise of cultural expression without discrimination

age, gender, beliefs or nationality. We invite the theater-loving public to honor this day, firstly for the symbolism it contains and secondly, in the same frame of thoughts for the stage collaboration of the Greek theater groups - which are more than the counterparts of any other "foreign" language spoken in this city - in a joint spectacle, with the prospect of holding similar joint events and then, with your support.
