Transeuropa (theater festival)
Transeuropa is a triennial theater festival in Germany organized in cooperation with the University of Hildesheim that brings together young performers from different countries to explore avant-garde theatre around a defined theme. Description. The Transeuropa festival has been held every three years since 1994. The Transeuropa organization was founded in 1993 to promote and maintain free and student theater at the European level. The festival is organized in cooperation with the University of Hildesheim and the Institute for Media and theater, and brings together young performers from the avant-garde theater scene of three or four  European countries. The goal is to promote cultural and artistic cooperation through mutual understanding between people of different nationalities, ideologies and ways of life, and to detect new aesthetic and discursive developments in the independent theater scene. Transeuropa has become one of the largest of such festivals in Europe. History. In the 1990s, after the opening of borders in Europe, Transeuropa explored links between East and West through the young theater scene in the partner countries. Transeuropa continues to explore developments and promote discussions by young European artists within a thematic focus. References. Citations External sources
