The ASSITEJ Korea International Summer Festival is South Korea’s largest performing arts festival for the youth, featuring top-quality theater productions from Korea and abroad. Originating in 1993 as the Seoul Children’s Theatre Festival, it became a vibrant celebration of global performance art for young audiences.
This year, the festival will be held from July 22 to July 27 at various venues in Daehak-ro, Seoul. Highlights include the Canadian circus show Glob, the Spanish visual performance Univers, and Chile’s puppet show Antuco. Another notable program is Tiger Tale from the U.K. This piece interacts directly with the audience and is part of an inclusive project for autistic children. The festival offers a magical week of storytelling, imagination, and artistic excellence for audiences of all ages.
