A format that makes young ideas visible

The event is aimed at young people and focuses on participation instead of distance. On stage, their own stories emerge, living from spontaneity, imagination, and movement. This makes the event experience particularly approachable: Those who attend experience not only theater, but an audience atmosphere driven by curiosity, creativity, and shared energy.
