BICT Fest 2026

BICT Fest, the 5th Bangkok International Children’s Theatre Festival, is back from 21–30 August 2026.

This year marks BICT’s 10th anniversary, and we warmly invite audiences both young and young at heart to “play with attention” with us once again under the theme “Play Attention: Look Who’s Growing Up!” This theme reflects the growth of BICT Fest and our intention to offer something back to everyone: a space of freedom for children, families, and audiences of all ages to experience the power of play.

With performing arts at its core, we invite you to return to this playground, where you are free to play, sometimes with intention, sometimes not, and let play lead you toward new discoveries that help us grow, day by day.

 This year, we proudly present a wider variety of performances, bringing together Thai and international artists to explore diverse and thought-provoking themes. Get ready to discover 11 works by artists from 9 countries on 21-30 August 2026 at One Bangkok, Goethe-Institut Thailand, and the Sodsai Pantoomkomol Centre for Dramatic Arts (Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University).

The activities at the Goethe-Institut Thailand include the performances of Kaow Kome from 21-23 August, Jala Lan Jana from 28-30 August, together with their adjacent workshops.
