Who will tell the future?

How young perspectives are changing theatre

  • Dialogue
German / 

For 15 years, the Houseclub has functioned as a living ecosystem in which young people, artists and institutions shape each other. It is a space where young people test their perceptions, actions and position in the world, not as consumers, but as experts on their own realities.

In a discussion to mark the anniversary, the following questions will be addressed: How do young people become artistic co-authors? And what traces do their themes, their bodies, their digital and social forms of expression leave behind in Berlin's theatre landscape?

The Houseclub shifts roles: from participation to involvement, from mediation to joint creation. It opens up spaces of experience in which power relations are renegotiated, between guidance and autonomy, structure and play, theatre and youth culture.
At a time when cities are becoming more diverse, political issues more pressing and forms of expression more fluid, the Houseclub shows how theatre is being renewed by younger generations: learning, breathing, resonating.
