The company unites actors of different nationalities who are otherwise active in their home countries to work together in the context of a project-oriented work setting. The work on these projects creates a platform for intercultural drama research in which actors can communicate their different backgrounds. Once a project is completed actors and participants return to their own countries but remain connected so that the network can operate continuously. Due to their internationality these projects can work in all the different genres of theatre with every creative step being documented. This documentation then forms the basis of our theatre research.
The aim of this network is to create a balanced view of different cultures, preventing cultural isolation. Instead of assimilating them, elements of different cultural backgrounds are explored following the idea that truly grasping another culture can help understand one=s own.
