We thank the jury for their conscientious and dedicated work: Elizabeth Blonzen (Berlin), Ilias Botseas (Mainz), Sakiye Boukari (Cologne), Canip Gündogdu (Bielefeld), Anne-Kathrin Holz (Schwerin), Andreas Kroder (Wedel), Sebastian Mauksch (Berlin), Rieke Oberländer (Bremen), David Paraschiv (Berlin), Laura Völkel (Berlin).
The jury’s decision represents the variety of production contexts in which young theatre is created: thus, productions from the school context, from youth clubs at state theatres as well as at independent theatres, and productions that originated from the young artists’ own initiative were selected.
Most of them present texts that were created during the working process and into which the young artists’ own experiences and the results of intensive research processes have been incorporated. These works show a young generation positioning and questioning themselves about their present situation and the responsibility it bears for the past and for the future.
We are looking forward to also welcoming the delegates of the ensembles of the intermediate selection to the 2023 Theatertreffen der Jugend:
