Festival inside Festival: CONNECTIONS
An international mentor Initiative
CONNECTIONS is an international theatre initiative that has the goal of intensifying the communication process between the different generations of artists and theatre genres, and to give this communication process a transparency. CONNECTIONS examines – by artistic means and through discussions – the changes and continuities in the world of theatre. CONNECTIONS was conceived as a transcultural and interdisciplinary mentor program: several well-known and experienced theatremakers each recommend a young colleague for a new theatre work, performance or theatrical installation. All of theses new productions will then be realized as part of the network of co-producers.
This will create two things for interested individuals: an encounter with a new work by a talented artist, and simultaneously a reflection on the work of the well-known mentor, as revealed by the criteria for his or her choice. The artists participating in the program will be faced with a productive challenge: dealing systematically with the artistic world of the other artist.
In Munich all productions will be presented from November 26th to 29th. In addition, the artists and mentors will get together for a public discussion "CONNECTIONS TALKS" on November 29th.
CONNECTIONS is an initiative of the SPIELART Theatre Festival Munich in co-production with CAMPO, Gent – Huis en Festival a/d Werf, Utrecht – Koproduktionshaus brut, Vienna- Republique, Copenhagen – Kanuti Gildi Saal, Tallinn – Theaterhaus Gessnerallee, Zurich – Forum Freies Theater (FFT), Düsseldorf – PACT Zollverein, Essen – Theater am Pumpenhaus, Münster - The Student Center (University of Zagreb)
