Dear participants!
The team of the festival "K.I.T." 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.
NO WAR!
