It's all over town.
From 20 June to 30 June 2013 SCHÄXPIR goes into its seventh round. In 2013 around forty theater and dance productions from Austria and abroad will be presented in the same familiar high quality under the festival director Renate Plöchl and the artistic director Stephan Rabl.
Over the course of eleven days, SCHÄXPIR disseminates the pleasure and passion of theater on the stages of Linz and also in locations more accessible to children and young people further away from the large, familiar locations in the state capital.
In 2013 SCHÄXPIR again offers a multifaceted, extensive program, which includes enticing premieres and the popular framework program.
Who is SCHÄXPIR?
He grins cheekily on billboards, peeks out of shop windows, flutters through the letterbox: young SCHÄXPIR is unquestionably the main face of the festival.
The unconventional spelling, harking back to the Great Bard of world-renown, has ruthlessly captured the hearts of young and old alike. Just as SCHÄXPIR plays on the name of Shakespeare the playwright, the festival plays on the expression "Großes Theater" (lit. "great theater").
SCHÄXPIR provides a platform for innovative and courageous theater for young people as well as the young at heart. New, innovative and groundbreaking strategies and variations are what the programme is all about. The festival remains true to the principle of putting on sophisticated and highbrow productions.
