Ernst Toller's pacifist satire Nie wieder Friede from the 1930s not only inspired this year’s festival title; its themes have rarely been as relevant as today. In this series of workshops, several groups and educational institutions discuss the play and develop a new version by children and adolescents—from the script to the props to the production, with a one-time performance in November.
