The Bright Talks
Welcome to the BRIGHT TALKS!
All festival visitors are invited to participate in three talks with the festival’s international artists. They will provide insights into their working methods: How can we give a voice on stage to people who are not allowed one? How does artistic co-creation between young people and adults work when young people are on stage as representatives of their generation and adults guide them?
Does it even work (well)? And what does it mean for participants and directors when a production moves between several disciplines? Such as dance, acting, object theatre etc.?
All BRIGHT TALKS events are in English and are free of charge
Registration is required via the ticket service.

The BIGHT TALK:
BRIGHT CURATION?! for (inter)national festival organizers
“International Theatre Festival”, but guest performances mainly from neighboring European countries. A public tender and review of over 100 video submissions. Rising hotel and catering costs, falling fundings, inflation and scarcity of resources.
How can an international festival be organized at the moment? How often and how far do we still travel to view live? Is it reasonable to spend more money on airfare than on fees? Who decides for whom? And what if fifa blocks all advertising space in the city?
We discuss current challenges of festival curation with representatives of this year’s curation team and festival office of SCHÖNEN AUSSICHT, the Goethe-Institut and (inter)national festival organizers.
