Programme

 

During Kabul Theatre Summer 2005 several international theatre teams (from France, Germany, UK, USA, and Estonia) will offer workshops and performances in various fields of theatre in order to strengthen intercultural exchange between Afghan and international artists. The 2nd Afghan National Theatre Forum, an extension of last year’s gathering, aims to continue the revival of theatre in Afghanistan.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to British Council, French Cultural Center, Goethe-Institut, U.S. Embassy in Kabul and all of our many other supporters.

 

 

Kabul Theatre Summer 2005 and the 2nd Afghan National Theatre Forum are meant to stimulate and support the development of this important art in Afghanistan. Such gatherings will undoubtedly begin to close the gap of recent years, caused by the displacement of so many artists and intellectuals. Afghanistan has a century-long tradition of involvement in the theatre arts that, now, after the recent difficult period, strictly requires a reinvestigation. Workshops and gatherings of this sort will surely pave the road to the restoration of this form in our country. I express my cordial thanks to the organizers and international supporters.
