The Asian Youth Theatre Festival gives youths access to challenge perspectives, be inclusive, explore identity and celebrate ASEAN youth in theatre. Providing a bridge between cultures and to place youth theatre on the map as a credible and relevant part of the artistic landscape, it also seeks to enlighten, challenge and empower young people through every aspect of theatre.

By offering a platform for participants to share their art form and connect on multiple artistic levels, it strives to lead in the creation of a stronger network of Asian artists to further the development and practices of theatre within the region.

The Asian Youth Theatre Festival aims to develop a culture of compassion, empathy and understanding across the world.

There is something for everyone so come and be a part of it!

This year, we bring together youth collectives from

Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam
