Some part of his message is Theatrical tradition is horizontal. There is nobody who may affirm that theatre exists at any centre in the world, in any city or privileged building. Theatre, as I have received it, spreads through an invisible geography that blends the lives of those who perform it and the theatrical craft in a single unifying gestureMany events are organized to enable communities to promote their work on a broad scale and to make people aware of the value of drama and arts, this day is celebrated.
