Young & Fresh
Up-and-coming talent, established professionals: experience ‘Young & Fresh’ live
Experience the hosted variety show format from ZAV Künstlervermittlung in collaboration with IKF Freiburg. ‘Young & Fresh’ brings a dynamic mix of breathtaking acrobatics, modern magic, comedy and performance to the stage. What makes this ideal for your programme planning: all live acts are completely self-sufficient. You can book the artists flexibly as soloists to add a specific highlight to your event, or as a complete, full-length ensemble. Also perfectly suited for occasional event organisers. Enjoy the show!

A breath of fresh air for the cultural and events scene
For the first time this year, we are also welcoming fresh faces and new voices who are just taking their first steps in the professional cultural sector. Our newcomers bring fresh perspectives, ideas and energy, and showcase what inspires the next generation of artists.
