The first Ageless Festival brings the premiere of Waiting for the Rain, a play that explores how various forms of ageism, or discrimination based on age, affect the daily lives and dignity of older individuals. This socially engaged play, featuring Novi Sad citizens aged 17 to 77, invites the audience to reflect on their attitudes toward the elderly and actively participate in the fight against ageism, emphasizing the importance of social responsibility and solidarity.

Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity.
The Ageless Festival is Serbia’s first artistically engaged festival dedicated to exploring and raising awareness about age-based discrimination, or ageism, particularly focusing on older people. Through an interdisciplinary approach, encompassing theater performances, panels, and musical programs, Ageless encourages open dialogue and sheds light on deeply ingrained prejudices against the elderly in society. The festival is organized by the Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture Foundation in collaboration with the Artičoka Association and the Red Cross of Serbia.
