Apart from the ten remarkable productions, each year the Theatertreffen invites 35 exciting emerging artists from all parts of the world to attend and reflect the festival, to exchange ideas and experiences across artistic and national boundaries and to search for progressive aesthetics for tomorrow in exclusive workshops.
More than 200 artists from 61 nations responded to the Open Call published in the autumn of 2019. We congratulate the invited fellows and look forward to the 2020 International Forum.
