TRUth on STage
Stories. Journalism. Theatre.
A European network exploring how journalism and theatre can work together to bring urgent stories to the stage.
Led by the European Theatre Convention and Schauspiel Köln
Theatre has long been a space for social reflection.
But today’s public debate is increasingly shaped by disinformation, polarisation, and anti-democratic feelings.
In this context, TRUST explores a new form of storytelling — where investigative journalism meets theatrical performance.
TRUST brings together leading theatres and journalists across Europe, guided by the European Theatre Convention and Schauspiel Köln,
to turn urgent investigations into powerful performances.
It will develop a new model for journalistic theatre and a new European journalistic theatre network to bring investigative journalism
and impactful productions to life.
Because some truths need more than headlines — they need a stage.
