Description
The project follows the former "The Rainstick" project supported by the EEA Grants (2021 to 2023).
The project core consists in creating and performing a new multidisciplinary theatre piece that will raise questions associated with the notions of “life in full” and “messiah” against the background of today’s social and climatic changes. The project will investigate diverse views of the indicated notions in Czechia and Norway.
The project will increase the awareness of questions of the following types: What is life in full? How to live in full against the background of social and climatic changes? Who is or who can be a contemporary messiah?
In addition, the project will reflect, by means of multidisciplinary theatre, a work of the most recent Czech literature. It will deliver new viewpoints on the novel by Martin Vopěnka “My Brother the Messiah”.
The project will also provide for sharing of experience between Czech and Norwegian partners in art criticism, including a seminar with 3 theatre critics and journalists aiming at critical discussion and communication with the audience.
The Project will primarily address general public and artists, secondarily children and youth, young adults (18-29 years) and Russian-speaking minority.
Within the project, we will
-create a new interdisciplinary theatre piece,
-organize 13 public performances. In one performance, members of the Russian-speaking minority will actively take part.
-organize 5 public discussions and 2 workshops.
-organize 1 seminar on arts criticism.
-provide publicity for project events. Redefine our communication strategy.
We are in contact with Henrik Sand Dagfinrud, Program Manager for “Bodø–European Capital of Culture 2024“, where we would like to present the new piece together with our Norwegian partners, if we are invited from the part of the festival and if no security issues (e.g. due to pandemic) arise.
