Opis projektu:
Mixdoor is a European multidisciplinary initiative, including workshops and a
creation of a performance combined from 3 different parts. The project takes 23
months and also includes 8 performances in different partner countries. Within
the project European performers (Poland, Croatian, Hungarian, France, Greek)
and professionals (visual, set design, technical etc.) and artists work together
chosen at each performance venue. The casting will take place in the framework
of four workshops. 8-10 involved artists: vertical dancers, circus artists,
musicians and visual artists will collaborate in an inspiration and technical
preparation period in Greece and a 6-8-week long rehearsal to create a
performance, which is mixture of three elements: 1) specific vertical dancecircus performance outside, on the wall of a building 2) a promenade (laced with
small site-specific performances: juggling, dancing, living installation), which
involves the audience, taking them to the theatre 3) In the theatre the
performance continues as a collaborative integration of dance, circus arts, music
and projections, weaving together the threads of scenes one and two. The
performances are connected at each location to a 2 weeks long workshop to
integrate to the show 8-8 local artists in each city. This phase gives partners
and the audience the opportunity to take part in a real intercultural dialogue,
and serves even the purpose of getting closer to each other, making the shows
more intimate, culture-specific. This mixdoor spectacle dissolves disciplinary
boundaries and embraces public space to mystify, inspire and delight
international audiences. The aim of the project is to create a large-scale
performance that provokes new perspectives of public space and entices
audiences into the theatre. The goal is to reach out to many different people by
creating a universal show staged on architecture in cities throughout Europe and
encourage the public to follow the artists as the work unfolds.
