RESEARCH TRIP I / PRAGUE
(socially inclusive activities with CZ citizens and the UA community)

A four-day visit to Prague and its selected districts by an international team of theatre artists (CZ+SK+UA) focused on research and collection of authentic stories during fieldwork with target groups as inspiration for the script of a future street production by four theatres from V4+UA aimed at bringing local V4 citizens closer to Ukrainian refugees. Based on the script, a non-verbal movement-visual theatre of social inclusion will be created to tell the stories of people in mixed communities through theatre. A theatre that breaks down prejudices, shows the benefits of global coexistence and brings people together.
