Theater Junge Generation, Cultural heritage theater in Kraftwerk Mitte, Dresden, Germany

Theater Junge Generation occupies a former power plant and operates three separate performance spaces with different capacities and designs. The venue accommodates traditional dramatic works as well as puppet theater and experimental stage forms.

The institution was founded in 1949 as Theater Fur Kinder and became a notable youth theater venue in East Germany. Moving to the renovated power plant in 2016 marked a significant transition after decades of operating from other locations.

The theater creates performances designed for different age groups, blending spoken drama, dance, and puppet work into its productions. Visitors experience how these varied artistic forms work together to tell stories that speak to young audiences.

The venue is publicly accessible and located in a creative district with good public transport connections. Restroom facilities, cloakrooms, and cafes are available on-site, making it convenient for families and groups.

The theater grew out of a merger with Dresden City Puppet Theater, which became part of the larger institution in the 1990s. This combination made it one of the largest youth theater organizations in German-speaking Europe.
