TeenScreen Programs for Youth

TS 01 TeenScreen 12+

On wild train rides, in flooded houses and in the midst of absurd conversations, this is where we learn to say goodbye, to rearrange priorities and that it is never too late to pursue one's dreams. Sometimes the boundaries between reality and fantasy become blurred, some things we deliberately disguise. We give free rein to our emotions and always remain hopeful.

Themes: Climate change, pets, courage, identity, death, loss, mourning, dance, family, anger, dreams, expectations, city life, animal welfare, fantasy, LGBTQ+.
