Colorful spectacle: World Children's Theater Festival in Lingen inspires children!

This year Lingen is all about children: From June 27th to July 4, 2025, the 16th World Kindertheater Festival takes place. The festival, which welds around 300 children from four continents, has made a name for itself in the international theater landscape. Under the motto "It's About Us!" the little actors will speak the universal language of the theater to address friendship, courage and the adolescents. In addition to the diverse theater and dance productions, visitors can also expect exciting workshops and an open exchange about cultures and perspectives, such as [nordnews.de] (https://nordnews.de/gastspiel-des--welt-kindertheater-nordhorn-energiegeladenes-heaterstueck-aus--Mexiko/).

A very special highlight of the festival will be the performance of the play "Journey to the Center of Alhijara" by the Mexican children's theater group "Pequeños Creadores Teatro" on July 2, 2025 in the Alte Weberliei in Nordhorn. The staging takes up the well -known story of Jules Verne and addresses central questions of life of growing up. During the afternoon the stage will not only be the scene for professional performances; At 5 p.m., the small and large spectators can become creative at an open theater workshop with the members of the Mexican group themselves.

a festival with tradition and future

The World Kindertheater Festival was launched in 1990 and is considered the oldest and largest festival of its kind worldwide. The city of Lingen and the theater pedagogical center Lingen (TPZ) are the driving forces behind this unique event, which takes place every two years and is organized every fourth year in Lingen itself. The district of Grafschaft Bentheim supports the 2025 festival with 10,000 euros and thus secures the continued existence of the cultural educational work, which is funded every year with 20,000 euros. Thanks to an additional grant of 11,000 euros, the theater pedagogical work of the TPZ will continue to be funded, such as wikipedia.de illustrates.

The participants of the festival will not only be on stage, but also actively integrated into the community. Not only performances are planned, but also discussion groups, play together and a rich supporting program. Host families will offer a temporary home to visitors from home and abroad and round off the big party with celebrations and culinary experiences, as the official website of the festival Weltkindertheaterfest.de notes.

For all those who want to become part of this magical event, the tickets for the performance in advance are available. The price is 12 euros, reduced 8 euros. Do not miss the opportunity to experience the world of children's theater art up close and to celebrate the creativity of the young talents!
