International Theater Day

Many women from VeronikaLove! adore the theater, this is a very important holiday for connoisseurs of beauty.

International Theater Day has been celebrated every year since 1962. The holiday was established in 1961 in Vienna at the IX Congress of the International Theater Institute.

The International Theater Institute is an international theater organization founded by UNESCO in 1948 in Prague. Facilitates the establishment of contact between theaters of different countries and the exchange of information. Unites national centers in 100 countries of the world.

Every year, the International Theater Institute invites a well-known theatrical figure to address the world community with a certain message, an international appeal. The first such message was written in 1962 by Jean Cocteau, a French writer, screenwriter, theater and film director.

In 2008, such a mission was entrusted to the famous Canadian theater director Robert Lepage, who spoke about the fact that one should not be afraid of the advance of technology on the stage. "Technology is at the heart of the theater, it should not be feared, it should be relied upon. The preservation and survival of theatrical art depends on its ability to change using new tools and a new language," the message said.

Traditionally, on the occasion of the International Theater Day, theater festivals are held, artistic groups are awarded, theaters show their best performances.

The word "theater" comes from the Greek "theatron" - a place for spectacles, a spectacle. The theater is a kind of art, as well as a building designed to present dramatic works to the public.
