Vile od cetiri decenije svog postojanja Bitef prevazilazi sve političke i kulturne barijere i uspešno ide u korak sa burnom evolucijom pozorilne umetnosti. Zbog toga istoriju Bitefa možemo nazvati istorijom savremenog teatra. Bitef je jedan od retkih festivala koji obuhvataju kako eksperimentalne, tako i tradicionalne forme. Revolucionarnih šezdesetih i sedamdesetih godina, gledaoci su imali priliku da vide neke od najhrabrijih scenskih eksperimenata koji su vodili ka razaranju dramske forme, ali takođe i značajna klasična ostvarenja, kao i predstave tradidonalnog orijentalnog teatra. Tokom osamdesetih i devedesetih, Bitef je predstavio najvile domete postmodernog teatra i plesa. Čak i u vreme političko-ekonomske krize i embarga, Bitef je uspevao da promovile najvile kulturne vrednosti i dovede u Beograd neka od najvedh imena svetske izvođačke scene. Ü prvoj deceniji XX veka Bitef prikazuje nova i inovativna dostignuća svetskog mejnstrima, predstave postdramskog i neverbalnog scenskog izraza, kao i one realizovane uz pomoć novih tehnologija, otvorivli tako vrata virtuelnoj stvarnosti sajber teatra. Tokom svih ovih godina, Bitef je sačuvao svoje mesto и рогоdid najznačajnijih svetskih festivala.
