The creation of World Theater Day dates back to 1961. It was an initiative of the International Theater Institute (ITI) and is held every year on March 27 by the ITI Centers and the international theater community. Several national and international theatrical events are organized, being one of the most important the dissemination of the International Message of the World Theater Day, in which, at the invitation of the ITI, a world-class figure shares its reflections on Theater and Culture. This year the person in charge of the writing of the message was the Cuban Carlos Celdrán, dramatist and theater director. As anecdote, comment that in the first edition of 1962 the person in charge of the message was Jean Cocteau and Arthur Miller the one of the second edition in 1963.
