Atlas of Transitions – New Geographies for a Cross-Cultural Europe is the European cooperation project that promotes cross-cultural dialogue by bringing local communities closer together through culture and performing arts.
Inom projektet presenterar Backa Teater den här föreställningen. Dessutom arrangerade vi under några dagar gästspel och samtal tillsammans med våra partners i Europa under titeln Ett förändrat Europa.
Det flera spännande reflektioner om Backa Teater och Göteborg att ta del av på projektets hemsida. Spyros Andreopoulos, konstnärlig ledare för Motus Terrae i Elefsina, Grekland tillbringade några dagar i Göteborg. Nedan finns hans tankar om staden.
"Friendly, vibrant, segregated, a place of contradictions, opportunities and transforming industries… there are many different words to describe Sweden’s second largest city, Gothenburg. In May 2019, actively involved in young communities, Backa Teater organized a series of events and performances under the title “A Changed Europe”. Spyros Andreopoulos shares with us echoes and visions of his experience there.
Upon arrival at the airport, a group of migrants escorted by police officers, is queuing for passport control. This arrestive image will trigger thoughts on borders, control and human contact, which will accompany him during his visit – opening a new perspective on current social issues. Follow his journey while he discovers Backa Teater’s artistic work and geopolitical beliefs, along with guest artists’ experiences, keeping one foot on each side of the Göta River."
