SIBIU International Theatre Festival is the most important annual performing arts festival in Romania and the third in Europe.
Initiated in 1991, the Festival brings together some of the most prominent national and
international artists, continuing the tradition of blending the central, eastern and western

The festival was conceived as a multifunctional body in order to build, through performing arts, a creative space and anthropological horizon in continuous expansion. Organizers ambition was to create a complex and independent festival, to discover new techniques of theatrical expression.
