MOT INTERNATIONAL THEATRE FESTIVAL

Republic of Macedonia

Organised by: Youth Cultural Centre

MOT was founded in 1976.

The admittance of the Republic of Macedonia into the Organisation of the United Nations (1993), and its membership in UNESCO, has meant also a beginning of the process of the integration of Macedonian culture (and particularly its theatre) into Europe and the world. MOT is a subscribing member of the Informal European Theatre Meeting - IETM (Brussels, Belgium). MOT is also a member of Mediterranean International Theatre Institute-IITM (Madrid,Spain) and founder of the Macedonian Centre of the International Theatre Institute - UNESCO.

At the beginning of the New Millennium, - as a support of the United Nations and UNESCO’s International Year for the Culture of Peace (and no-Violence) 2000, - International Theatre Festival MOT celebrates its 25th jubilee. Therefore, our experience with the subject “The Theatre of Power” was a provocation to promote this year the subject THE THEATRE OF POWER .
