Fast Forward is a European theatre festival for young directors. Over four days annually in November, the festival presents performances from all over Europe by artists who are still at the beginning of their careers as directors. Our aim is to show how diverse contemporary young theatre is, to provide the next generation a platform and to offer the audience a place for discoveries. Every year, an international jury awards a festival prize to one of the productions invited. In 2025, the award will consist of an invitation to a working residency in Dresden in cooperation with HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts. There is also a young jury and an audience award. Fast Forward was founded in 2011 at the Staatstheater Braunschweig and has taken place at the Staatsschauspiel Dresden since 2017, in 2025 for the 15th time in total.
