Common
Stories
Inviting other stories on European stages
Identity constructions are based on and strengthened by stories and experiences. Stories tell who we are and who we strive to become, they question and challenge the way we see ourselves and the others. We, 6 performing art organizations based in Europe, believe that a diversity of stories and a multiplicity of perspectives will allow for a more accurate and fair understanding of the political, cultural and social challenges we have to face in order to create common grounds in European societies in transformation.
A project supported by the Creative Europe programme.
