The theatre, traditionally being the treasure of national culture, shall become an “emergency entrance” for people standing at the porches of Europe or for those who already live in Europe as undesired neighbours, in short: the others. Those, represented by actors, are to meet in unexpected constellations on the stages of 6 countries. The proposed project is doing theatrical research on new, visible or invisible, mental lines of borders in today’s Europe. It challenges artists of 6 nations to find supranational perspectives on ubiquitous national socio-ethnic conflicts. Step1: The national theatrical research projects. All artistic teams will do a documentary research on an issue highly relevant in their own countries. The research material will be dramatized and adjusted for stage and premiere in the respective countries. The aim is to develop dramatic, multi-media essays of a very different form. Step 2: Conducting cross-national theatrical workshops. The artistic results of step 1 will now be looked at from new perspectives in workshops conducted with 2-3 partner theatres. Hosting each other’s companies, the partners will combine their artistic results. They will work out commonalities, create imaginative links – thus mapping the current situation of European neighbours in a new way. Step 3: “Emergency Entrance Festival" and symposium. The work on perspectives derived from step 1 and 2 will result in a concluding festival. The change in perspective produced by confronting on stage traditional bilateral national “otherness” conflicts with new “otherness” groups from other countries will produce surprising results in our biased view on these issues.The project tackles issues like humanitarian catastrophes in today’s Europe, high criminality among immigrants, thus giving reasons for prejudices and discrimination. It aims to initiate a fertile dialogue and contribute, through art, to the process of acceptance of diversity and otherness in a Europe without borders.
