In addition to the recording of the opening ceremony, the productions from Theatertreffen der Jugend will also be available in the Berliner Festspiele media library on the next working day after the respective performance until May 2025. The media library also offers on-demand content from previous years.This year’s selection ranges from musicals and classic transmissions to collages, activist plays and a martial arts performance. In terms of content, the ensembles deal with unrequited love, queerness, fluid gender roles, the helplessness of society in the face of an uncertain future and the question of how peace can come about.&nbsp;

visibility

Resistance to social pressure – 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.

Newsletter of the Treffen junge Szene

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 sponsored as a national contest by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:500px"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img alt="" src="/magnoliaAuthor/dam/jcr:6318970e-ebfd-4186-8f69-8e41b6be0b4c/BMBF_sponsored_by__en_rgb.svg" style="height:138px; width:175px"></td> </tr> </tbody></table>

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’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'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;Susanne Chrudina Director Treffen junge Szene

ttj24_vorwort

Susanne Chrudina

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.

The international Jazzfest Research Lab&nbsp;welcomes academics and students to take a critical look at the festival’s archive, its programmes, creators, musicians and – last but not least – its myths. In two seminars during the summer semester of 2024, students from the Berlin University of the Arts and the University of Hildesheim have explored the festival’s history from various perspectives. In this film, the participants give a first look at how they dealt with their research subject.

The massacre, hostage-taking and rocket attacks by Hamas have shaken us deeply. The grue-some attack on Israel on 7&nbsp;October left us stunned and initially lost for words.

With this letter of intent, we, the signing cultural organizations, express our intention to welcome, host and stage Ukrainian theatre artists in our venues, to make Ukrainian dramatic work visible to the European community.
