Young people become voices behind the scenes at the Ruhrtriennale
With the Triennale Teens Talk, the Ruhrtriennale in Bochum opens a format for curious young people who want to not only watch theater but actively think and shape it.

Participation is free of charge and is aimed at young people between the ages of 13 and 20.
A festival format with its own voice
