Since then, it has been staged on a bi-annual basis, the location alternating between its "home town" Lingen (Ems), and various cities around the world.
Two years later, the TPZ organized a small local event called Kinder spielen und tanzen für Kinder (Children play and dance for children).
Several years later, Radermacher – by then the director of the TPZ – developed the idea of creating an international theatre festival for children, similar to the World Theatre Festival for adults.[which?]
Since then, the festival has been held every two years, its location alternating between Lingen and various cities around the world.
The festival of 2020 in Toyama / Japan was cancelled due to the pandemic, and the following event was only to be announced for 2025.
