The Purple Umbrella Festival 2025 is a celebration of youth expression, climate consciousness, and collective imagination — a unique platform where storytelling meets solutions.
What began as a theatre festival has now expanded into a multidisciplinary festival that empowers young people and communities to engage with the world’s most pressing challenges through
three dynamic tracks:
The festival gives individuals — especially youth — the stage, screen, and spotlight to express their hopes, fears, and solutions. Whether through the rhythm of a play, the lens of a filmmaker, or the spark of an idea, Purple Umbrella Festival invites participants and audiences to think critically, act collectively, and imagine courageously. Together, we’re building a space where creativity fuels action, and every story counts toward a more just and sustainable world.
We are doing this because the climate crisis, social inequality, and the growing disconnect between communities and their futures demand more than just policies and protests — they need stories, solutions, and stages.
We believe that:
The Purple Umbrella Festival was born from the belief that creativity is not a luxury — it’s a necessity for change. We are creating a space where performance, purpose, and passion meet — to spark conversations, incubate ideas, and build a collective voice for the future. We're doing this for the dreamers, the builders, the storytellers — and the world they will inherit.
To provide a dynamic platform where children use theatre to creatively address the pressing issue of climate change, sparking awareness, dialogue, and action among audiences and communities.
To nurture a generation of environmentally-conscious artists who use the power of creative expression to inspire climate action and global change.
