In June 2025, the festival will once again invite young ensembles to meet at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele. The festival will focus on theatrical experiments and plays by youth theatre groups.

Theatertreffen der Jugend 2025
Young theater makers between the ages of 11 and 21 can apply yearly for the Theatertreffen der Jugend. From the applications received by the Berliner Festspiele, a jury will select productions to be invited to Berlin.
In 2022, many of the ensembles selected by the jury have developed their works on the basis of or in relation to classical material or classical figures. They have made these their own and powerfully connected them with their concerns, issues and experiences in the present.
Since its founding in 1979, the Theatertreffen der Jugend has thus been both a public platform and an important source of inspiration for theater work by and with young people, and is one of the most important festivals of its kind in Germany.
