Meeting the other

frontiers, identities and cultures in the european space

Europe is a multiple space, but its diversities are not always taken into account by the mono-cultural politics of its members countries, which is something that sometimes leads to an identity-making makeshift and to the rising of communitarian antagonisms. The development of intercultural dialogue practices becomes thus urgent.

Which are the underlying social conflicts that the practices of cultural dialogue wish to put in evidence in order to defuse them?

The construction of an information network is an essential moment of confrontation between media realities that could carry out a kind of participatory and interactive journalism.

Astràgali Teatro will be concerned with the realisation of a theatrical residence that will involve young actors, from France, Germany, Greece, Albania coming from contexts of migration, in order to create the conditions for a deep common experience, a moment of confrontation between different experiences, and putting into play artistic dynamics and potentialities.
