That's why this year's edition of AUGENBLICK MAL! will feature not only the children of the BLICK'S MAL group, but also the youth group AUGENtagMAL! Over the past few months, the 15- to 24-year-olds interested in theatre have been able to gain insights into almost all areas of the festival's planning.
