Premieres in May
Not one, but two plays of authors from our network will premiere on May 24:
First, the play „VA†ERZUNGE” , developed within the Drama Lab 2022 by Miriam Unterthiner, will celebrate its world premiere on May 24 2025, at the Tiroler Landestheater.
And second, „no shame in hope (eine Jogginghose ist kein Schicksal)“ by Svealena Kutschke will premiere at the ITZ Tübingen.
We wish we could clone ourselves for attending both!

Our new Drama Lab 2025 authors!
Out of anonymous 124 submissions the jury chose four authors for this years’ Drama Lab 2025. We are very much looking forward to working together with Renate Aichinger, Eva Bormann, Judith Humer und Xaver Schumacher!
Their first drafts were promising and full of feminist, poetic, political and humorous power. We are eager to see the development of their texts and the final results on stage!

After two small and one large-scale past editions funded by the European Commission, FABULAMUNDI NEW VOICES marks a new chapter of a successful history of European cooperation, which aims to bring contemporary playwriting closer to the younger generations.
