Tour des Textes

Netzwerk Münchner Theatertexter*innen

The Tour des Textes is a collaborative scholarship program organised by the Netzwerk Münchner Theatertexter*innen, the Wiener Wortstätten, the Neues Institut für Dramatisches Schreiben and the Summer School Südtirol.

Scholars of this program have the opportunity to develop their text projects and to present them in regular workshops in Munich, Vienna, and South Tyrol. In this way, a sustainable opportunity for development and exchange supporting the text creation can be achieved. The program is accompanied by a reading and discussion format. During this, the authors present their current work and discuss aesthetic, content-related and political questions.

Participants of Tour des Textes are invited to regularly meet over the course of one year and to work on their texts, collaboratively discuss them and exchange ideas.

Six writers are part of the Tour des Textes in its fourth year.

On January 26th, the Tour started in Munich.

The Munich chapter of the Tour was once again supported by Monacensia im Hildebrandhaus.

Scholarship holders: Amerla Madreiter, Maxi Obexer, Thomas Perle, Olga Prusak, Rike Reiniger, Peter Thiers
