The premiere season of ETC’s artistic collaboration project Young Europe III opened yesterday with Rage, a classroom play created by Deutsches Theater Berlin. A total of nine new productions with and for young people will be premiered this season across the continent.
Young Europe III focuses on theatre as a place of identification for young people in Europe. Over two years, nine ETC Member Theatres collaborated to develop new theatre texts on the topic of identity and integration, which will expand European multilingual drama for young audiences.
Productions & Premieres
Democrisis
A gameplay developed in cooperation between Theatre Magdeburg (Germany), Staatstheater Braunschweig (Germany) and the National Theatre "Marin Sorescu" in Craiova (Romania). The immersive gameplay Democrisis is based on interviews with 14 to 20-year-old people from Braunschweig, Magdeburg and Craiova and asks the question: What would we lose if we put our democracy at risk?

Age of Rage / Rage
The theatres Deutsches Theater Berlin (Germany), Weöres Sándor Szinház (Hungary) and de Toneelmakerij in Amsterdam (Netherlands) collaborated to find out what was occupying the minds of the young generation today. What emerged was a clear theme of democracy – its meaning and implication both now and in the future. Each theatre created a new production based on their combined research.
