Projects

The ‘Prospero New European Wave’ (Prospero NEW) Platform project builds on the legacy of the Prospero network; a grouping of theatres created in 2006 to identify and support promising theatre directors and authors in European venues. Throughout time, the composition of the Prospero network and the nature of its activities evolved, but the theatre’s willingness to nurture artistic dialogue across borders, identify and supported talented theatre artists and Europeanize activities remained. After implementing several projects, the network is now willing to go a step further and structure itself as the European theatre platform. This will enable the new consortium to scale up its ability to identify talented theatre artists from all over Europe, diversify the forms of support proposed as well as its geographical reach.

Four European theatre companies have established the collaboration “Participate in your life,” exploring interactivity in children’s theatre through discussions and workshops. The main aim of this collaboration is to exchange artistic methods and approaches, to get to know each other’s cultural backgrounds, and to ensure know-how transfer. In the future, partners aim to create international projects in different areas of performativity. The long-term goal is to develop a knowledge platform where European artists can connect performative tools and participation, concentrating on children and youngsters.

“Tower of Babel” is a solid international project developed with artists from Norway, Hungary, Iceland, and Lithuania, united by the international network of interactive, immersive theatre for children and young people PIYL (Participate in Your Life). “Tower of Babel” aims to draw attention to global issues, bring them to life in the language of interactive theatre, and stimulate critical thinking in young people.
