Summary/Abstract: The text summarizes an argumentative debate around the concept of “intercultural dialog” in theatre. Starting from the short description of the European project “Cities on Stage”, realized in collaboration with Radu Stanca Theatre in Sibiu, the text questions the necessity of intercultural dialog in arts and its use and application in cultural policies in European Countries. The case of the Romanian Cultural Institute is being used as an example of how Romanian cultural policies are being designed and applied in comparison to countries like The Netherlands and Belgium. Finally, “intercultural dialog” is being addressed as a defining phenomenon of the process of Europeanization, whereby the role of art is that of constant interrogation and validation of the concepts proposed by cultural policies.
