BICT Fest 2024: Inspiring Young Minds Through the Power of Theatre

Bangkok, August 2024 - The Bangkok International Children’s Theatre Festival (BICT Fest) 2024 has once again proven to be a beacon of creative learning and exploration for children and performing art enthusiasts. Running from August 1-11, 2024, at various iconic locations throughout Bangkok Thailand, BICT Fest remains dedicated to providing children with equal opportunities to explore and learn through the powerful art form of theatre.

Since its inception in 2016, BICT Fest has been founded on the belief that all children deserve equal opportunities for creative learning. Theatre, as an art form, provides a playful and engaging way for children to learn and grow. The festival continues to uphold this mission, bringing inspiring and collaborative performances to art enthusiasts of Bangkok.

Project V, a proud local partner of BICT Fest, is thrilled to contribute to this year’s festival. Our mission to deliver premium art-inspired media production aligns perfectly with the festival’s values. We believe in the transformative power of art and its ability to inspire and educate young minds, and BICT Fest provides such an inspiring platform for this mission.

One of the standout experiences at this year’s festival was the collaborative performance titled “The Choreography” at The Jim Thompson Art Center. This interactive performance allowed the audience to become the performers, exploring the relationship between movement, thoughts, and emotions in a welcoming and safe space.

The creative minds behind this performance, including Anna Haglund, Annica Styrke, Johan Sundén, and Karin Wiklund, along with the BICT Team’s excellent Thai script translation and voiceover work, have crafted an experience that continues to resonate with all participants.

The performance’s unique approach, where audience members are guided through headphones to explore movement and their inner world, transforms them from passive spectators to active participants. This methodology not only engages the audience but also creates a deeper connection to the art and themes presented.

By participating in the festival, Project V is proud to support an initiative that nurtures creativity and inspires young minds. Reflecting on the festival, a participant shared, “The collaborative performance at BICT Fest 2024 was a wonderful experience. It felt like a soul-searching journey and a natural way to explore our minds. So inspiring, so uncomplicated, so safe.”

Project V extends our gratitude to BICT Fest for inviting us to be part of this eexperience. We are honored to support an event that brings such impactful experiences to children and performing art community.
