Devised theatre
Director: Amelie Prugger
Age of performers: 8-13 years
Recommended age: 6+
Synopsis:
A mysterious theft causes an uproar: a valuable box has suddenly disappeared – and there are several suspects. They all have a motive, closely guarded secrets, and a story of their own.
Together with the audience, the Kidsclub sets off on an exciting search for clues full of surprises, humour and unexpected twists. Thinking along, laughing along and sharing the suspense are expressly encouraged, because in the end one big question remains:
Who did it?

Synopsis:
When Mortima Morrison, the owner of a magical pet shop, suddenly appears in
class one day, a great adventure begins for Ida and the other pupils:
their new teacher Miss Cornfield and Miss Morrison start giving away
talking animals! Ida is lucky and is the first to receive one: the clever
fox Rabbat comes to her. One by one, the other children in the class also
receive their magical animals.
In “The School of Magical Animals”, perhaps the greatest childhood wish is
fulfilled: their magical animals become unconditional friends. They offer
the children unwavering security, enabling them to grow beyond what they
thought possible.

Diversity Connects!
Author: Esin Eraydin
Director: Stephanie Senn
Age of performers: 12 years and up
Recommended age: 12+
Synopsis:
“Diversity Connects” by Esin Eraydin is a play for young people about solidarity, courage and dealing with exclusion. In various scenes, characters share their personal experiences of discrimination and bullying – because of their background, appearance, gender, poverty, or mental and physical challenges. It becomes clear how hurtful prejudice can be, but also how important listening, understanding and solidarity are.
This anti-bullying play shows that every voice matters and that real change begins when people stand up for one another. In the end comes the realisation: our differences do not divide us, because diversity connects us.

Can You Feel It?
Piece: Devised theatre
Director: Theresa Rohrer
Age of performers: 15-18 years
Recommended age: 12+
Synopsis:
“Can You Feel It?” depicts a simulation created as a refuge from one’s own pain. What began as a technological promise – simply switching off emotions upon entering – has long since become a dictatorship of numbness ruled by one radical law: feelings are forbidden. Anyone who feels is considered defective; anyone who loves becomes a threat.
The ensemble “junges theater innsbruck” transposes the fairy tale of “The Ugly Duckling” into this sterile system and, through a series of snapshots, reveals diverse realities of life within the simulation. The transformation into a “swan” is not an aesthetic correction, but a radical acceptance of one’s own self. Only those who find the courage to be vulnerable can find the way out of the simulation.

You’re Not TikToking Right!
Director: Claudia Fröis
Age of performers: 14 years and up
Recommended age: 12+
Synopsis:
Three friends, a dance, a mishap and a video that should never have gone online. Within a few hours, the whole school knows about it. Likes, laughter, comments – but what is mere entertainment for some deeply hurts others.
With “You’re Not TikToking Right!”, the group brings a contemporary play about bullying and the effects of social media to the stage. The play shows how hurtful words can be and how important solidarity and mutual support are.

As the detective risks sinking ever deeper into a web of lies and self-doubt, her own life is also put in danger.

Will she make it out safely at all?

The Life of a Teenager – Between Friendship, School and the Rest of the World
Director: Astrid Lichtenwagner
Age of performers: 12-15 years
Recommended age: 12+
Synopsis:
The life of a teenager can be pretty hard: an argument with a friend, the dismissive looks from others, pressure at school – and, to be honest, you are not always entirely happy with yourself either.
It can be a lot to ask to always stand by yourself and your own ideas, wishes and beliefs. How can that possibly work?
