PUBLICATION

The Art of Listening in Theatre for Young Audiences

(145 pages)

Editors: Wolfgang Schneider and Nicola Scherer

Published on November 7, 2025 – printed in Italy by Edizioni Pendragon

The book offers reflections, interviews, and case studies from international partners.

It provides both a record of lived experiences and an “artistic dictionary” – entries on concepts such as listening, atmosphere, attention, curiosity, and diversity – that serve as tools to rethink artistic processes and cultural exchange.

By focusing on listening – to audiences, to artists, and across cultures – BABEL affirms theatre’s role in fostering empathy, participation, and cultural rights.

The entire book is available online (use the download link below) or you can get a hard copy of the publication by contacting Teatercentrum in Denmark on info@teatercentrum.dk
