WORLD THEATRE DAY 2024 — Joint Celebration by Eight Greek Theatre Groups of Belgium

Eight Greek theatre groups from Belgium celebrated World Theatre Day by presenting the hilarious comedy of Giorgos Galitis "Pushing up daisies". The above Greek theatre groups in Belgium organized a joint celebration of World Theatre Day for the fourth time in 2024, after a three-year break due to the pandemic.

This day is celebrated every year on March 27, established in 1962 by the International Theatre Institute, the most important international non-governmental organization in the field of theatre 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 theatre in society, its contribution to the mutual understanding of individuals and peoples and the exercise of cultural expression without discrimination of age, gender, beliefs or nationality.
