SCHÖNE AUSSICHT is an international theatre festival for young audiences based in Baden-Württemberg. Every two years, the JES invites 10 international guest performances as well as guest performances from children’s and youth theatres across Baden-Württemberg to Stuttgart. Due to cuts in the city of Stuttgart’s cultural budget, we unfortunately have to forego one of the international guest performances this year.

From May 15th to 21st 2026, SCHÖNE AUSSICHT will take place at JES as well as various other locations in Stuttgart.
This year, the programme explores the question “What do we share?” and aims to look for commonalities despite differences, as well as moments of sharing.

In addition to the performances, there will be many opportunities for encounters and exchange, such as the BRIGHT TALKS and the NEW GENERATION residency. Various groups such as the Festival Philosophers will accompany the festival. This year, they are they are joined by BRIGHT SIGNS, our focus group of young Deaf and hearing-impaired people.
We look forward to meeting you at the festival!
