The Festival
From 3 to 10 November 2010 the Kulturamt der Stadt Münster and the Staedtische Buehnen, along with the NRW KULTURsekretariat, will present the first HALBSTARK festival. With its exciting and spectacular productions this new theatre festival is aimed at children and teenagers between the ages of 9 and 13. Under the artistic direction of Dutch director Silvia Andringa, it will present productions from Germany, Holland, Belgium and Denmark.
Theatre Festival assumes Perspective of 'Halbstarke'
Be it play, dance- or musical theatre, the eleven national and international productions selected reflect the themes and dreams of their audience. The stories are about the true and untrue, the funny and the sad, the philosophical and the entertaining. And they are often also about the development of the self.
Mentoring Classes
HALBSTARK is seeking to involve theatre professionals and audiences in an intensive dialogue. Since September 2010 children from 11 mentoring classes have been involved in a special exchange with the festival ensembles.

Warum kommen Dinge durcheinander? [Why Do Things Get Messed Up?] - Theater an der Parkaue (D)
This thought counts as one of the most complex processes that the human brain can perform. Even a super computer that can process 10 trillion mathematical operations per second can't come close to solving it. But what is thinking? How does communication work and how is knowledge created? A daughter discusses with her father: "Why do things get messed up?" She wants him to explain it to her and soon one question follows another.
