Convened by the National Council of Performing Arts, the Festival will be dedicated to Russian theater actor and pedagogue Konstantin Stanislavski, for his technical contribution, creative, generative and transformational ability, the Prensa Latina news agency reported.

In addition to Havana theaters, parks and squares, the provinces of Pinar del Río, Artemisa, Mayabeque, Matanzas, Villa Clara, Sancti Spiritus, and Cienfuegos will be sub-venues of the Festival.
