We were on our way and everything was going quite well. All of us were absolutley exhausted, especially my Dad who had not slept for 2 days before and then had only managed to sleep 2 hours.
Then there was one stop that seemed to divide our lives into 'before' and 'after'."

"This play tackles the topic of #mentalhealth really thoughtfully - and it's something we need to talk more about in Hungary."
Listen to director Júlia Levai and actor Zsófi Rebeka Kozma discuss the upcoming Hungarian premiere of Sweet Sixteen, a play by Dutch playwright Casper Vanderputte that was originally staged by de Toneelmakerij. It focuses on a relevant and difficult subject - suicide at a young age - but also allows for playfulness through the sisterhood and complexity of the young female characters.
Sweet Sixteen was introduced to European audiences by the ETC Drama Committee, who translated it into English and described the play as "convincing in concept, structure and language, with well-written dialogues". ETC then funded the translation of the play into Hungarian through our Translation Grants.

NADIA: Exploring Radicalisation in Theatre and the Arts
NADIA was an international theatre collaboration project between five theatres from five different countries, exploring why and how young people in the West get radicalised.
Dutch playwright Daniël van Klaveren wrote an original text which was then discussed, shaped, interpreted and staged by each of the participating theatres. More than 1000 young people were reached by the project, which also had a strong educational component.
You can read articles about the journey and the results here!

What actually *is* Sustainable Theatre?
🍃 "Sustainable Theatre isn't just about personal commitment or passion. It isn't about theory or data. It's about..."

Here it is! The full video for PIPELINES; an ETC project in many languages about one topic... oil.
We are so proud of PIPELINES. Through this project, a network of communication circulated words instead of oil, drawing energy from cultural exchange rather than from fossil fuel.
It showcases how European collaboration and political engagement can foster visibility for burning issues, highlights local themes on global issues and shows that common problems can be solved when working together.
Participating theatres and audiences are also invited to reflect their own relationship to oil, their need for energy and encouraged to experiment artistically or organisationally with energy neutrality.
Thank you to the participating theatres and authors - we can't wait to read the final texts!
