Festival Internacional de Teatro de La Habana has a political outlook on theatre.
The organising committee says the following, among other things, at the website of Festival Internacional de Teatro de La Habana:
"As opposed to a worldview that functions with the irrationality of the market, the theatre encourages the encounter of ideas that put at the centre the defence of life. A theatre that participates in the needs of our culture. The urgency of recovering human living spaces, to save the ecosystem, a policy that defends the interests of all, are grounds for an art committed to its time. Resistance theatre, theatre of the everyday life and utopian theatre, provocative theatre, live theatre, urgent theatre."
When referred to internationally, Festival Internacional de Teatro de La Habana is often called Havana Theatre Festival, though it is not an official name of the festival.
