Given ancient Greece’s role as a precursor to theatre in the West, it is not surprising that the Theatre Olympics was established in 1993 in Delphi, Greece, at the initiative of the famous Greek theatre director, Theodoros Terzopoulos.

Its 8th edition is taking place in India.

The ongoing Mumbai leg of the festival runs till 7th April 2018, post which the festival will conclude.

The festival in Mumbai is being staged across two venues: The P.L. Deshpande auditorium (Ravindra Natya Mandir) and at the Nehru theatre auditorium.

All performances are free, and tickets are available on insider.in and at the venues prior to the show.
