22 July to 23 October 2022

The young dancers in the ten productions invited to the 9th Tanztreffen der Jugend, which will take place this year from 26 September to 3 October at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele, are on a quest for their own role beyond attributions and gender stereotypes, for identity, for overcoming isolation, for social alternatives and forward-looking solutions. There will be a varied supporting programme with concerts, poetry slam and a closing party.
