The 4th edition of the Novi Sad Theatre Festival, an international theatre festival for children and youth, brings seven remarkable productions from around the world to Novi Sad this May. From May 7 to 11, the Youth Theatre will host performances by artists from Canada, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, France, the Czech Republic, and Serbia as part of the festival’s competition program. This year’s festival selector is Aleksandar Ćurčić.
The jury includes playwright Divna Stojanov, director Tamara Kučinović, and costume designer Irina Somborac.
The supporting program features three performances by the Youth Theatre: Dragon, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Sourceress from Bonjour Street—an excellent opportunity for visiting theatre professionals to experience some of the ensemble’s finest productions.
This year’s program also includes two insightful public discussions: the panel What Young People Seek In Theatre? and the Young Critics’ Round Table. The lineup is further enriched by a special event with acclaimed children’s author Jasminka Petrović and an exhibition by Milica Grbić Komazec, a long-time collaborator of the Youth Theatre. All four supporting events are free of charge.
