“June kaj kune” is the first musical in history that was originally created in the Esperanto language — it is therefore not a translation of any other work.
Its premiere took place during the 78th International Youth Congress (Internacia Junulara Kongreso, abbreviated IJK). The title of the musical is also the motto of TEJO and means “young people together”.The story follows participants of a fictional International Youth Congress: some of them find love, others discover their current “place on Earth,” and still others receive unexpected help.
There is no single protagonist – the theme and the true “main star” of the show is the congress itself. 34 young people from 14 countries and 5 parts of the world joined forces to create this unique project. The performance was presented on 26 August 2022 at 20:00 during IJK 2022 in Westelbeers, the Netherlands.
To carry out this project, TEJO received funding from the Erasmus+ program under KA152. In addition, five other associations contributed to its realization: Catalan Esperanto Youth, German Esperanto Youth, the Italian Federation of Esperantists, EUROKKA, and the Polish Esperanto Association.
