ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Intercultural theatre

Intercultural theatre means when people from different cultures come together to make a play or performance. Just like how you play with different toys with your friends who come from all over the world. Different cultures have lots of different things that are important and special to them, like food, music, and stories. When people from different cultures work together to make theatre, they can use all of these different things to make something really cool!

Imagine that a bunch of kids from different countries want to make a play about a super-hero. One of them might have a cool idea for the costume, while another has a great idea for what the hero should say. Each person can bring something unique and special from their culture that makes the play special and interesting.

Intercultural theatre shows us that even if we might come from different places, we can work together and have fun together. By learning about each other’s cultures, we can appreciate each other more and be respectful towards each other, no matter how different things may seem.
