One stage design, four theatres, four contemporary productions

One stage – one shared geographical space: Europe. Our continent and its inhabitants are the focus of a multi-layered theatre project. Artists from Romania, Georgia, Russia and Germany project their perspectives into the centre of this space. They tell of clowns and the nature of humour in Europe, reinterpret the story of Medea and trace the long restrictive shadow cast by the Nazi era over generations. They allow voices from the Ore Mountains to speak about how people want to live together in the future and create a platform for migrants to give their opinions on the status quo. The four productions will be staged individually and jointly in the Capital of Culture region.

Where? Figurentheater Chemnitz, Theater Plauen-Zwickau, Mittelsächsisches Theater Freiberg, Eduard-von-Winterstein-Theaters Annaberg-Buchholz
