Invite to Teen Theatre Fest

Divadlo Jana Palarika

Ján Palárik Theatre would like to warmly invite ETC member theatres and its representatives to the 1st year of the international biennial theatre festival Teen Theatre Fest, which will take place from June 22nd to June 26th, 2024.

 At the festival, you can look forward to:

  • 8 performances from top theatres from Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Germany
  • Concerts, discussions, a young critics seminar, performances for families with children, workshops, and exhibitions

The main motto POINT OF VIEW focuses on topics that resonate particularly in the current social climate. What forms of collective existence do queer people offer? How can we collectively seek joy and energy for utopian imagination? Are we willing to overcome intergenerational conflicts? And how much empathy can we carry towards the victims of ongoing war conflicts? The slogan "my point of view" is not about deepening polarization but accepting opposing views as a fundamental condition of creative freedom. Share yours with us!

The event is organized by the Ján Palárik Theatre in Trnava in cooperation with local, regional, cultural, and educational organizations: Cultural Centre Malý Berlín, Nádvorie - space of contemporary culture, Alegria - Dance and movement studio, Ján Koniarek Gallery in Trnava, Juraj Fándly Library, Bratislava in Movement association, Creative Centre Trnava, Zaži v Trnave - City Cultural Centre, Trnava Region, the city of Trnava, Trnava Self-Governing Region, and the Faculty of Law of Trnava University.

We will gradually announce the whole program in May on the new website www.teentheatrefest.sk as well as on DJP's social networks.

We look forward to seeing you there!
