In a society in change thesesstories become even more important. The theatre inEurope today has therefore an important role as it has totell the stories and witness the lives, not just about“ourselves” but also “the other” and the confrontationwith “the other”. For young theatre professionals theworld becomes more and more open, but the tools toassimilate this new situation and present it on the stageare limited. The project consists in eight co-creations,two workshops with theatre students, and twointernational conferences. The participants areconfronted with questions regarding identity andbelonging, immigration and rejection, violence, familyand relationships, and will explore how new theatricallanguages can be used while crossing borders.Give another good practice example you know of:THEATRE YOUTH FORUM, ETC STAFF EXCHANGEWhat changes would you like to see (and by whatactors, at what levels) that will help you do your workbetter ?The creation of multilingual work requires assistance onan international level.
