The International Yiddish Theatre Festival is addressed to the general public, Romanian and foreign alike, of every age group, opening a door to knowledge through its own means of expression and so contributing to understanding, acceptance and closeness between cultures.
Through the International Yiddish Theatre Festival, the State Jewish Theatre sets out to bring the unique character of Yiddish culture to the attention of the wider public by presenting it in today's cultural context. It also hopes to raise interest in better intercultural communication, through the exchange of experience with communities that promote Yiddish culture around the world, the preservation of the Jewish cultural tradition in Romania and the transmission of Jewish cultural heritage through artistic means throughout the world.
the State Jewish Theatre has as its principal aim the preservation and promotion of Yiddish-language theatre and culture, the cultivation and promotion of Jewish traditions and the spread of culture through knowledge of the language, the literature and the traditions, upholding multiculturalism and multilingualism for more than six decades.
