That year, the UNESCO International Theater Institute decided to organize a world day to celebrate one of the most outstanding performing arts: dramaturgy.
In this way, the members of that body met in Helsinki, supported mainly by the Nordic countries, and they decided to start this tradition on March 27, 1962.
World Theater Day: why it is celebrated on March 27
As explained by the Ministry of Culture of the Nation, the date was chosen since, since 1954, every 27 of the third month the season began at the Theater of Nations in Paris, an event that sought to achieve communion between the countries after the Second World War.
