RE:ACT FESTIVAL 2024
An interactive theatrical showcase, the re:ACT© Festival celebrates the strength of advocacy from empowered youths.
re:ACT© addresses a wide range of topics from mental health to misogyny. We harness the power of theatre to showcase the different strategies that our youth take to make a positive change in their society.
Our performances are interactive, inviting the audience to be an active agent of change. The audience is given opportunities to step onto the stage, role-play as characters and experiment solutions to the conflict presented. This ‘dialogue-through-action’ encourages participants to think critically and serves as a rehearsal for real-life.
WE DO IT TO
-
To express today’s challenges authentically through story-telling
-
To design an experience that is out of the box
-
To create innovative theatre.
