theater festival
#KulturOnTour
The first international theatre festival #KulturOnTour took place in 2013. At that time we didn't really know where we could ask for support and how we could make the festival big, rememberable and unique at the same time. Now it's taking place on the city's main theatre stage and is a great event for our guests and the whole city. Today professional actors and directors from all over the world like to join our team of expert judges and theatre educators want to give their masterclasses or just watch performances, come to visit and meet with one another. Nowadays we receive a huge amount of applications and find it difficult to select the best plays. Now we are absolutely certain that we did everything correctly when we met on a small site in a suburb of Bremen in 2013 and celebrated the first festival with a small collective. We just wanted the festival to be what it is now. And we have more and more wishes, which we strive for every year.
The age of the participants must be between 16 and 30 years.
Performances of every form and genre in every language are invited to participate.
We recommend a duration of maximum 90 minutes for your play.
In the application selection phase, the performances/videos are observed and evaluated by the festival organising committee. At the final, the plays will be perfomed on stage. They will be observed and assessed by members of the festival's expert jury. One winner will be revealed in each program, as well as winners in separate nominations. As part of the festival, performances are discussed with members of the expert jury. Also master classes are held in the main disciplines of theatre. In the evening, a non-theatrical program is planned for the participants with games, competitions and parties. Additionally and on request - excursions, trips to other cities in Germany, visits to museums and cultural areas of the city of Bremen - can be organised.

Dear participants!
The team of the festival "Kultur On Tour" and #theater11bremen does not support the aggression of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. The jury consists (including) of figures of culture and art of the Russian Federation/Belarus Republic who left the country because of their civic position and/or political repression. We are sure of this and ask you to treat all participants of the festival with respect, regardless of nationality, citizenship or language.
