INFORMATION ABOUT PROJECTS

The basic philosophy of the summer project is to facilitate a creative and international meeting of theatre-makers with different approaches. The summer project is an exchange of creative practices, an encounter between Continuo’s approach to movement, devising and pedagogy, as well as the individual creativity and background brought by each participant. The group of participants will live and work together for one month both in the Plum Yard and in a nearby non-theatrical location. These sites, and the meeting of the participants, will act as inspiration for creative exchanges, which will result in a performative installation open to the public, from 28th July to 4th August, 2022. The performance is based on the result of movement, voice and visual arts workshops, which will take place during the first weeks of the project at the Plum Yard. The workshops and the following creative process will be lead by the members of Continuo Theatre under the supervision of Pavel Štourač.

The theme of the project focuses on selected socio-political topics of our current life situations. Performers in cooperation with political scientists, historians and journalists will transform these topics into the format of political and theatrical agora, inspired by ancient cities, where the public political discussion used to take place.
