Magne van den Berg – Snackbar

This text excerpt proposed by De Toneelmakerij was selected by the ETC Drama Committee in 2024.

Snackbar (translation: Cafeteria) deals with the harsh realities of child sexual abuse and incest. This is a profound and disconcerting play about the courage it takes to stand up for yourself and others. More than focussing on the physical horrors of sexual abuse, the play investigates the horror of silence and celebrates the strength of those who dare to break it.

Jokin Oregi – Where are the Children?

This text excerpt was proposed by Teatro Arriaga to the ETC Drama Committee in 2024.

In Where are the Children? we find ourselves facing a story that narrates an unusual event – the death of an eight-year-old girl. The evidence points to suicide as the cause of death. In this spatial-temporal mosaic what appears to be a story centred around an absent girl becomes a choral portrait of the adults living in relation to the children in the play.
