GOAL
Teatarnova is a programme that enables young people to talk about important topics through the theater.
PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
Kulturanova's first play is older than the organization itself, because in 2000 we performed the play in Sarajevo, which was still damaged by war at the time. This also determined the character of future productions, which have always dealt with socially engaged topics. Such was the case with the play Patriotic Hypermarket, which was historic because it re-established cultural co-operation between Serbia and Kosovo after 20 years and 10 years after the conflict.
The Teatarnova programme officially started in cooperation with the organization OPENS2019 and every year, through the workshop process, it created one theater play with young people, in which they created the content of the play. The goal of the programme is that young people, with or without previous theater experience, participate in creating the content of the play, discussions on topics that are important to them, as well as to go through art education.
Within the Teatarnova programme, a methodology has been developed for the use of applied theater techniques in working with young people, and we have also begun work on professional productions of theater plays. We have produced plays and collaborated with some of the biggest artistic names (such as Dino Mustafić, Oliver Frljić, Andraš Urban), and our plays have been performed in theaters in Europe and around the world (such as the Gorky Theater in Berlin and La Mamma Theater in New York).
