TRUST - TRUth on STage
Stories. Journalism. Theatre.
TRUST — TRUth on STage: Stories, Journalism, Theatre is a groundbreaking European collaboration exploring what happens when journalism and theatre meet on stage.
Across Europe, artists and journalists are joining forces to investigate urgent stories and transform them into powerful live performances that invite audiences to think, question, and engage.
Led by Schauspiel Köln and the European Theatre Convention, TRUST brings together ten leading European theatre institutions and media collaborators to experiment with a new artistic form: journalistic theatre — a genre where investigative research meets the emotional power of performance.
Aiming to develop a replicable model for journalistic theatre, the project is founded on the conviction that theatre, when combined with the investigative depth and the truth-driven ethos of journalism, can become a powerful space for public dialogue and democratic debate.
At a time of misinformation and growing social polarisation, TRUST explores how theatre can become a place where facts, stories, and collective reflection come together.
TRUST is co-funded by the European Union.
