Some stories don’t end on stage.
That’s where they begin.

Last year, Sarajevo Theatre Showcase became a turning point for productions that moved beyond borders, found new audiences, and stepped onto international stages.

What started here didn’t stay here.

This is where new voices get seen.
Where stories start moving.

And this year, it could be yours.

World Theatre Day Message 2026 🎭

β€œI am an actor principally know as a film actor. But my roots are deeply in the theatre. I was a
member of the Wooster Group from 1977-2003 creating and performing original pieces at The Performing Garage in NYC and touring throughout the world. I have also worked with Richard Foreman, Robert Wilson and Romeo Castellucci. Now, I am the Artistic Director of The Venice Theatre Biennale. This appointment, the events in the world, and my desire to return to theatre work has strongly formed my belief in the unique positive power and importance of the theatre.
At the humble beginning of my time in The Wooster Group, the NY based theatre company, we would often get very little public at some of the performances at our theatre. Often the rule was if there were more performers than public we could choose to cancel. But we never did.
Many of the company were not trained in the theatre but were people of different disciplines that came together to make theatre- so β€œthe show must go on” was not really our mantra, however we felt an obligation to keep our meeting with the public.
We would also often rehearse during the day and in the evening show the material as a work in progress. We would sometimes spend years on a show while sustaining ourselves with touring of older performances. Working years on a piece would often become tedious for me and I found rehearsals somewhat trying but these works in progress showings were always exciting-
even if the tiny public was a damning judgment of the level of interest in what we were doing.
It just made me realize how no matter how few people, the audience as witness gave the
theatre its meaning and life.
Like the sign in the gambling hall says β€œYOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN.” Shared experience in real time of an act of creation, that may be scored and designed but is always different, is certainly the obvious strength of the theatre. Socially, politically, theatre has never been so important and vital to our understanding of ourselves and the world.” WILLEM DAFOE
