The ThinkArts International Festival for Young Audiences was started in 2019 as a biennial festival to introduce children to brilliant plays and performance pieces from across the world, while also providing a platform to showcase some of the wonderful work being created by artists in India.
With the lockdown in 2020, meeting young people and engaging with them in schools and theatres suddenly took a pause.
But creativity is not limited to physical spaces. So the festival is back online this year, with a new hope to reach more children, teachers, artists, families, to share creative experiences and to come together, in a new way, to celebrate work that gives us joy and resilience so we can keep imagining!
This year ten pieces will be presented online at the Festival. It will feature shows from Australia, Germany, India, Indonesia and Switzerland.
Featured artists and companies:
Varun Narain from India with Omar and the Underworld
Helios Theater from Germany with Circles
Kinnara Mela from India with Somari Volya
Chamar Bell Clochette from Switzerlands with Robot
