There are perhaps as many approaches to presenting a play as there are theatre practitioners in the world. The language, methodology, training and ideology of the creator leave their unique imprint on the diverse canvas of theatre across the world. Yet, its depiction of the human condition in classic, modern, contemporary, experimental or abstract styles is what creates a common language between, say, a Belgian play and its Indian counterpart. To foster a dialogue between thespians from around the world, Greek theatre director Theodoros Terzopoulos took the initiative to start Theatre Olympics in Delphi in 1993. Since then, the theatre festival has travelled to Japan, Russia, Turkey, South Korea, China and Poland, before reaching Delhi in February for its debut Indian edition.
