#connACTed

Children and Youth Theater builds bridges between cultures, languages, generations ... This year's international encounters are entirely in line with the motto connACTed: We connect by acting and watching plays together.

„I perform, therefore I am. I perform with my body and language, in which all of me is, even more, than I realise. I perform with who I am, with what I am and what I could be. I perform with others, perceive them, react to them, and observe how they see me. “

„I discover that we show ourselves by acting out our situations. We approach each other, hug each other, get in touch with each other. And recognise parts of ourselves in each other.“

„And I encourage others to perform, tempt, entice them to the play, to transform, to gather, to recognise one‘s
own situation and the joy of being, and being for others - in the play and thus in life - that we can say: “We play, therefore we are!“ (Rellstab 2000, Verlag Stutz Druck AG)

3 Steps

Startseite

"Brucklinn - Youth Theatre Building Bridges" is THE theater festival format by and with children and young people.

In the middle of Innsbruck, a colorful, varied and freely accessible program of performances and workshops for the whole family takes place, while at the same time artistic and cultural exchange opportunities bring together young people from all over the world.

In the period from October 2020 to June 2023, a progressively international youth theater scene formed, which annually develops plays on different focal points and these were first brought to the stage in June 2021.

Under the motto #bedifferent, 20 theater groups presented their plays in 2021 - locally in Innsbruck and online for the whole world.

In summer 2022 - national groups will be invited to show their participatory created theater pieces with children and young people in Innsbruck and to give space to the artistic diversity of young people.

In 2023, the network of international theater groups will be our guests in Innsbruck in the grand finale. The live premieres of the most diverse forms of children's and youth theater from all over the world will crown the three stages of Brucklinn - the festival that forms the bridge for young theater.
