The cross-border theatrical conversation is going live.

OISTAT (International Organisation of Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians) is an organization dedicated to the visibility of backstage theatre work while building connections across the international theatre community.  

As 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of OISTAT Headquarters’ relocation to Taiwan, OISTAT Headquarters plans a series of events to further broaden both Taiwanese and global theatre communities’ interest in and understanding of OISTAT. 

“OISTAT Global Exchange” is a curated series of online panels hosted via Zoom. These sessions introduce OISTAT Centres and the wider international theatre landscape while highlighting the immense value of global collaboration. Over four conversations, representatives from different regions will share insights into their organizations, recent projects, and their local theatre environments.

About OISTAT Headquarters in Taiwan

OISTAT was established in 1968 by seven founding countries, Canada, Czechoslovakia, the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Israel, and the United States. OISTAT was born as a bridge for theatre practitioners during a divided era. Today, it remains a global network celebrating design, technology, and architecture in live performance.

After being based in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, OISTAT Headquarters officially relocated to Taiwan in 2006. In honor of OISTAT Headquarters’ 20th year in Taiwan, OISTAT Headquarters is hosting a series of events, bridging the Taiwanese theatre scene with a vibrant global theatre community to celebrate a shared past and envision the collective future.
