The festival SAAL Biennaal 2025 will feature a performance “Teenage Songbook of Love and Sex” by Icelandic artists Alexander Roberts and Ásrún Magnúsdóttir. We are now looking for local young people to join the choir in the performance process!

The Teenage Choir of Love and Sex sing songs they have written themselves based on their own romantic and sexual experiences. As the teenage choir travels, it invites different young people locally to write songs with them and join the choir. The choir sings for themselves and each other. They sing for love, curiosity and heartbreak. So far the choir has already performed in Belgium, Germany, UK, France, Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland.

What we will do:

• Teach you some of our songs and write new songs with you.
• Have a workshop period together ahead of the show on 21-26 August.
• We will perform at Eesti Noorsooteater in the program of SAAL Biennaal on 27 and 28 August.

We are looking for people who:

• are open to singing about love and sex, sharing stories or singing other people's stories.
• are aged approximately 16-21 years old.
• feel comfortable communicating in English, as the working language will be English.
• are available for the whole workshop and performing period.

Experience is not required! However, it is important that you enjoy creating and performing in front of a large audience. We also welcome people who would be interested in participating in the songwriting process, but do not wish to be on the stage. There's also a small symbolic fee for all performers!

Please submit your response by 27th of April. All applicants will be contacted latest by 12 May.
