Mandala Theatre-Nepal is going to organize the third edition of Nepal International Theatre Festival 2025 in Kathmandu from March 19th to 27th, 2025.

With the slogan "Theatre for Social Transformation: Light of Indigenous Wisdom", NITFest 2025 is determined to strengthen the communal harmony, respectfulness for social diversity and to contribute in preservation of intangible cultural heritage through social awareness, art and exchange. Moreover, the festival will support global theatre groups and artists coming together in a shared platform to explore their aesthetic expressions and solidarities for relevant socio-political issues.

Theatre productions from around the world will be showcased during the festival. The theatre productions are carefully selected by the festival committee based on their potentials to be the reflection of the vibrant socio-political scenarios of local communities from different regions of the world.

Besides the play productions, the festival will be featured by other allied events such as daily interactions, panel discussions, seminars, open air performances, theatre photo exhibitions, encouragement award ceremonies, cultural and artistic stalls, and more. These events will create opportunities for meaningful dialogue and cultural exchange among participants and audiences alike.
