Front/frontier-dynamics of the inclusion of the other in theatre concerns a theatre practice realising the encounter of different languages and cultures, standing against the idea of frontier and separation, as principles of conflict. The Mediterranean designates itself as the space of an eternal wound, place of unceasing conflict, where the history of its frontiers has constantly met the social space of war.
The frontier floods towards the front, in the construction of an enemy otherness. Language as well becomes a frontier, if it is a place inaccessible to otherness. The level of communication and the elimination of concrete barriers to dialogue, becomes an urgency, and, above all, in the space of the community, a primary objective in the construction of a Euro-Mediterranean cultural space, a crossable space, that could unite and remove frontiers.
A route of research and theatre ateliers will be realised in Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, France, Albania, calling upon a reflection on crucial issues, such as the processes of identity construction. Each residence will bring to the realisation of the site-specific performance Persae, based on Aeschylus' tragedy The Persians, directed by Fabio Tolledi.
