The ETC’s artistic collaboration project 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.
The nine new productions will join together in June 2021, during the Week of New European Drama, for the Young Europe Festival in Graz/Austria.
See the latest news and details of each production below.
