PROJECT ACROSS - Teatr Węgajty


Short description:

"ACROSS" means the artistic research across various kinds of borders: the political and economical as well as the invisible borders keeping out of our world groups of maladjusted, disabled or simply poor people.

"ACROSS" is a journey from Wegajty through Hungary, Montenegro to Albania, with performances, documentary presentations and workshop meetings in the partners residencies, interactions with the local communities, with the aim to find new practical ways of communication and cooperation.
