Under the patronage of Lord Mayor Belit Onay and together with Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft (BAG) Spiel & Theater, Leibniz Universität Hannover and Kulturbüro der Landeshauptstadt Hannover, Schauspiel Hannover is organizing the theatre festival COMMON GROUND – Jugend spielt für Jugend international. From 28.05. – 01.06.2024, youth theatre groups from Ghana, Malawi, the Czech Republic, Turkey and Hanover will present their productions.

For five days, the Ballhof stages will be home to around 100 young people with a total of twelve performances. Together, they explore with and on stage how they see themselves and others and what this means for their relationships with each other. Using their own aesthetic means and multifaceted motifs and languages, the young people aged between 14 and 24 talk about themselves, their worries, fears and hopes and appeal to everyone: We need a common ground! We want a future!

Admission to all festival performances is free. You can reserve seats for all performances in Ballhof Eins via interaktion@staatstheater-hannover.de. Remaining seats for the performances in Ballhof Zwei will be allocated at the box office.
