The Oradea International Theater Festival reopens its doors this year for the 8th edition in June, more precisely from June 1 to 11, 2023, 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.
This year the festival will have three large sections: the competition section – Short Theater Festival, the Off-competition section and the Outdoor section, which include valuable performances, invited both from important theaters in Romania and abroad, including the Far East.
