YOUNG DIRECTORS
PROJECT
Theatre – Discussions – Lectures – Photo Exhibition – Films
It’s an interesting question as to what themes, texts or pictures a young
generation of producers, employing different theatre languages and coming
from an internationally varied background, will come up with when they
take part in the Young Directors Project competition sponsored by Montblanc
at the Salzburg Festival.
The programme brings together three directors whose productions will be
performed in three different languages: Falk Richter from Germany, Oskaras
Karsunovas from Lithuania and Frédéric Fisbach from France. All three
are in their early thirties. Their productions are based on literary texts
ranging from classical Greek drama to modern American plays.
Have they got something in common despite the difference in production
circumstances? Can one still speak of a difference between institutionalized
theatre and free ensemble? Or is this distinction one that is peculiar
to the German theatre world? These are only a few of the questions which
the Young Directors Project will be addressing and which will be discussed
by the artists themselves.
At the end of the cycle of performances one of the young producers will
be given the newly-founded Montblanc Young Directors Project Award on
18 August. The award is worth € 10,000.
