visibility

Resistance to social pressure &ndash; feminism, rebellion against expectations, responsibility against right-wing social tendencies and the feeling of paralysis in the face of catastrophic events and gloomy prospects for the world: in the productions of the 2023 Theatertreffen der Jugend, the view was thrown back into recent history, all the way to antiquity, in order to reflect the everyday realities of life for the young theatre makers.

Education &Youth Programmes Newsletter

The Theatertreffen der Jugend sees itself as a platform and place of impulses and exchange, a place of learning where young theater makers can negotiate their working methods and their different themes and attitudes and are encouraged in their individual, artistic forms of expression. The focus is on the invited productions and the encounter and exchange between the young players and their directors in a wide variety of formats.

About Theatertreffen der Jugend

The Theatertreffen der Jugend is part of the Treffen junge Szene of the Berliner Festspiele and is funded as a national contest by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

<img alt="" src="${link:{uuid:{c6c8b7f8-8bee-4e87-92e5-bfe6bc06c17a},repository:{dam},path:{/bfs-de/Partnerlogos/b/bmbf},nodeData:{},extension:{png}}}" style="height:80px; width:160px" />

The artists take us into the world of mythology, rewrite classical material and turn their protagonists into influencers, develop collages or invite us to a martial arts performance. They deal with the helplessness of society, grievances, pressure to perform, the culture of remembrance, fluid gender roles and failure. They have a sense of humour, working with caricatures and humorous elements. The performers seek interactive encounters with the audience and express themselves in chants, songs, choreographies or on the vertical cloth. This year&rsquo;s selection has many intense moments in store and confronts us sometimes with a threatening, sometimes with an imaginative future.&nbsp;

This year marks the 45th edition of the Theatertreffen der Jugend. A proud number behind which stand decades of impressive young theatre work and strong messages. This shows that the importance of theatre as a means of expression for young people remains unbroken across generations. I would like to thank the sponsors of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for their many years of support and for recognising the inestimable value of theatre for the development of young people.

I would like to sincerely thank my colleagues on the jury for their meticulous and dedicated work in making this year&#39;s selection.&nbsp;

My special thanks go to the Treffen junge Szene team and my colleagues at the Berliner Festspiele, who support the young theatre makers with so much appreciation and professionalism.&nbsp;

And I wish you, dear ensembles, wonderful and exciting days at the festival. And thank you! Thank you for your work and thank you for addressing things and taking the future into your own hands.&nbsp;

The moment is so intense, so much to discover, to feel, to experience. And yet we are always on the move into the future. Into an uncertain future.&nbsp;

The young theatre makers talk about such intense moments and about their wishes, fears and demands for the nebulous future. They show activism, passion, discipline and a willingness to fight. We encounter modern gladiators, transcultural ensembles, time travellers and lovers, hear the rhythm of different languages and live music on stage.&nbsp;

Of the Moment and the Future

Applications for 2024 are no longer possible. Deadline was 31&nbsp;January 2024.&nbsp;The selection will be announced on 26&nbsp;March 2024.

Considered one of the key works of modernism, it is a hundred years after the genesis of Igor Stravinsky&rsquo;s &ldquo;Le Sacre du Printemps&rdquo; that Sasha Waltz takes on the Mariinsky Theatre&rsquo;s offer to engage with this extraordinary piece of musical and dance history. Its title translates to &ldquo;The Rite of Spring&rdquo;.&nbsp;For this evening, it is accompanied by the &ldquo;Sc&egrave;ne d&rsquo;Amour&rdquo; from &ldquo;Rom&eacute;o et Juliette&rdquo; by Hector Berlioz and her choreography &ldquo;L&rsquo;Apr&egrave;s-midi d&rsquo;un faune&rdquo; to the music of Claude Debussy.

<h3>&ldquo;Kill your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia&rdquo;</h3>

<h4>By Ren&eacute; Pollesch</h4>

Ren&eacute; Pollesch provided unforgettable moments at the Theatertreffen in 2002 with the invitation to his &ldquo;Prater-Trilogie&rdquo; parts 1 to 3 and in 2012 with &quot;Kill your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia for unforgettable moments at the Theatertreffen, for which we are deeply grateful. Ren&eacute; Pollesch died suddenly and unexpectedly on 26 February at the age of 61. The 3sat recording of &ldquo;Kill your Darlings! Streets of Berladelphia&rdquo; is available in our media library until 27&nbsp;May 2024.
