FITO 2024 programme
Start FITO 2024! The complete program of the 9th edition of the Oradea International Theater Festival.
Selection of the Short Theater Festival, 17th edition
The Oradea International Theater Festival reopens its doors this year for the 9th edition in June, more precisely from June 1 to 9, 2024, continuing the tradition started in 2013 in the format of a large and diverse festival, but also in 1976 through the Festival of Teatru Curt, currently included in FITO.
EXTENSION OF FTS SELECTION PERIOD
The selection jury of the Short Theater Festival, due to the large number of entries to the festival, decided to extend the deliberation period until the date of April 8, 2024, when the official selection of the competition section of the Oradea International Theater Festival (FITO) will be announced.
Short Theater Festival is a unique cultural manifestation in the Romanian theatrical landscape, with a longevity that is hard to match, the first edition taking place in 1976. Until 2013, when the FITO macrostructure was created, it functioned as an independent festival. Since 2013, it has become the main section of the Oradea International Theater Festival and has a competitive character.
Thank you for your understanding and we hope to see you again this year at FITO!
