The 1st International Street Theatre Festival is a meeting place of artists and ideas. It’s a place which presents the multiple expressions of theatre creation, which gives the opportunity to artists from all over the world to transform the historical centre of Athens into a multicultural, multiform, without limits stage.

The Hellenic Centre of the International Theatre Institute, as a meeting place of Greek and Universal theatre, incorporates in its own vision the vision of the International Street Theatre Festival and supports the diversity of the artistic expression, creation and communication.

I hope that the International Street Theatre Festival will become an institution with the support of the State as well as ours, but also with the support of the theatre professionals and the audience which will enjoy it.
