Port of Dreamers is another international project Kulturanova is working on.
This time, we are working in collaboration with the Dubrovnik Summer Festival from Croatia and the Maribor Slovene National Theatre on the project Port of Dreamers.
Port of Dreamers deals with the European migrant crisis, focusing on the Balkan route countries. In Port of Dreamers, these countries present their experience with the migrant crisis, which gets merged with the experience of other countries that at some point in history dealt with the migration of their population.
Port of Dreamers is an interdisciplinary project that brings together theater directors, actors, dancers, playwrights, writers, multimedia artists, and visual artists, who will join people from the EU as well as non-EU countries, in presenting their stories, experiences, and visions regarding their experience with migrations.
The results will be presented to the public in the form of performance arts, exhibitions, and a campaign dealing with social and ecological responsibility. Port of Dreamers creates a synergy of sociocultural activities, builds a new audience, and promotes the socialization and coexistence of migrants and the local population in the context of intercultural exchange and mutual acceptance.
Port of Dreamers raises the following questions: How did migrations become an integral part of the European story? What would ideally be the European story? What are the reference points in the history of migrations that we should learn from today?
The project is funded by the Creative Europe Program.
