The project of “Generation Icons in (Central) Europe” is an initiative of European theatres that focuses on contemporary drama. The aim of the project is to create an international network for support, production and mobility of contemporary drama in Europe. This international network will serve as a platform for development of new texts, residencies, coproduction stagings, translations of contemporary plays and their presentation in the form of stagings or stage readings, a professional discussion and work with new technologies and European public. The project's keynote is the “generation icons”. On the one hand, the theatres that function as project co-organizers are geographically very close to each other (Prague, Bratislava, Vienna). On the other hand, albeit this vicinity and a common regional context of Central Europe, all the three countries reside nowadays in very different cultural contexts. The topic of generation icons can be viewed as a ground on which differences can be shown. This theme that is crucial for European cooperation is surpassing Central Europe. Therefore the project also involves more distant theatres from Northern Ireland and Spain, which will bring new meanings into central European dialogue in the form of their new dramatic and rehearsed readings. Moreover, the topic of generation icons is also attractive for European audience. This is why the project involves application of interactive possibilities of new media. All in all, the project develops the theme of generation icons on various levels: regional diversity, European values, inter-generation dialogue, inter-field exchange, mobility of works of art and mobility of artists. We will work with the selected topic within a multilateral exchange in several levels: a local one (3 cities), a national one (3 European countries), a regional one (Central Europe) and European (other 2 European countries).
