International Theatre Festival for Young Audience
spleen*graz – an international theatre festival for young audiences, brings, every two years, a colorful and diverse contemporary (inter)national theater art program for children, youth and adults to the Styrian capital of Graz.
With its contrasting spectrum of various theater forms (spoken word, dance, music or puppet theater), spleen*graz offers an exciting program that meets high quality criteria in terms of content and aesthetics on the one hand, but also tries out new and unconventional approaches and addresses challenging topics on the other.
In addition to the main program, the young festival track „spleen*trieb“ gives young and local artists the opportunity to implement interdisciplinary crossover projects and realize their own theatrical creativity in unusual locations and public spaces.
Numerous educational programs for school classes, dialogues, concerts and supporting events facilitate encounters and complement a festival for all age groups and multilayered interests.
