The 13+ Festival at Divadlo v Dlouhé, taking place from February 4 to February 8, 2025, is a unique opportunity for all audiences interested in themes related to adolescence, the search for identity, and issues affecting today’s youth.
This non-competitive showcase presents professional non-Prague theaters that have long been creating productions aimed at young audiences. Although the festival is primarily designed for teenagers, its program will also appeal to anyone young at heart who wishes to explore contemporary topics and questions relevant not only to the young but also to adults.
This year’s festival focuses on one of the most critical issues facing young people today: the search for identity and a place in the world of peers and the emerging adult world. This journey of self-discovery is accompanied by numerous challenges and questions, including those related to sexuality, first sexual experiences, and relationships. These themes will be reflected in several festival productions that openly address topics such as sexuality, first sexual encounters, unplanned pregnancy, and the challenges that come with these significant life moments. The productions Poprvé (For the First Time) and Dvě čárky (Two Lines) specifically delve into these issues, revealing how adolescents face these complex questions.
The 13+ Festival also features the play Teoréma, which, although intended for audiences aged 18 and over, will have the honor of opening the festival. This production focuses on sexual initiation, a theme echoed in other festival plays. Whether exploring intimate moments between young people or broader societal and cultural contexts, the 13+ Festival does not shy away from controversial topics, presenting them openly on stage.
Each performance will be followed by a discussion with the creators and performers, offering audiences the chance to deepen their understanding of the themes explored, learn about the theatrical process, and view the productions from different perspectives. This is an opportunity not only for teenagers but also for adult viewers to engage in debate and reflect on how these issues manifest in today’s world. The 13+ Festival thus provides not only high-quality theatrical experiences but also a platform for open discussion and exchange of opinions.
If you are looking for a festival unafraid to explore contemporary social issues while offering the chance to discover new themes and perspectives, the 13+ Festival at Divadlo v Dlouhé is the perfect choice. This festival is not only a venue for theater enthusiasts but also for anyone seeking to broaden their perspective on the world of young people and the challenges they face in their search for identity.
