Performing Arts in the Visegrad Space

The Project Performing Arts in the Visegrad Space is a pilot project of common presentation in priority international events such as the biggest world performing arts markets or important international theatre/dance/music festivals.

The aim of the project is preparation of materials for common presentation of contemporary theatre, dance and music in the Visegrad space. One part of the project is identification of common cultural-historical intersections or differences existing in contemporary Czech, Slovak, Polish and Hungarian productions of performing arts with theatre as the focal point.

The project is base on the need of bigger visibility of the Visegrad group countries at the international scene thanks to joining forces and mutual synergy of countries which are often disadvantaged by their size or location in the "eastern" part of Europe and it should serve their more powerful presentation at big international forums in North and South America, Asia and Europe.

The project is realized by following institutions:

• Arts and Theatre Institute, Prague; www.idu.cz, www.theatre.cz
• Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Warsaw, Poland; www.iam.pl
• Theatre Institute, Bratislava, Slovakia; www.theatre.sk
• Hungarian Theatre Museum and Institute, Budapest, Hungary; www.oszmi.hu
