📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The Weltbühne in Heckenbeck, a small place with only 450 inhabitants, is a cultural centre with a large theatre space in a former village hall. Every year, the local population look forward to an international theatre project and will happily host you and your group for 2 weeks. Together with young people from other countries, you will take part in a theatre workshop centred around the topic of “giving”. In 1857, King George V of Hannover gave his wife Marie an entire castle for her birthday… What was the craziest, best or worst gift you ever received? What do gifts mean and why do we send gifts at all? Together you will create small scenes with roleplays, character work, interaction and improvisation. From your own creative ideas and the results of our research, a play will be produced under the direction of a theatre teacher that will be performed in front of an audience.
