International Theatre Festival of Professional Actors "Olivkovaya kostochka"
REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS, LIMASSOL 27-29 MARCH 2026
Our festival is an annual event that brings together different theatres. It is for those who want to experience a variety of contemporary theatrical forms and share their ideas with colleagues and audiences. We do not award places, as it is not a competition. However, we offer nominations determined by an expert jury.
Our mission is simple: to meet like-minded people in person and create theatrical masterpieces together!
