Plays for young audiences have become an integral part of HELLRAU's program and “Watch Out!” has established itself as a permanent fixture at the theater and beyond. With the conviction that young audiences are not the audiences of tomorrow, but have long been the audiences of today, the festival enters another round in May.
Over four days, HELLERAU will present a colourful program of dance pieces by established artists for a young, young-at-heart and adult audience, once again pursuing a transgenerational approach in this edition. The pieces will take place on the grounds of the Festspielhaus as well as in the urban and outdoor spaces, inviting audiences to marvel, join in but also to meet and discuss together.
