Thursday, October 27th 2022
4 p.m. – 5.30 p.m.
Kosovo Theatre Showcase
Kino ARMATA – Prishtina

Agata Tomšič is a guest in the panel Theatre Beyond Our Own Backyard with Jakub Skrzywanek (POL), Mischa Twitchin (UK), Sarah Grochala (UK). Moderated by Elsa Demo (AL).

What we can say is that, in today’s Europe, international theatrical exchange is not only an artistic act,
but also a political act. In these times, when xenophobia and racism are on the rise, when nationalism
and authoritarianism are taking root, when far-right populist movements are winning ever more ground
and we are on the brink of a large-scale war (perhaps even nuclear war), then yes, inter-European
cultural exchange and cooperation is a political act. It is an act of resistance — and, we suggest, an
essential one.
So, what kind of theatre are we making in today’s Europe?!

The panel is part of the Kosovo Theatre Showcase.
ErosAntEros is also a guest of the INTERNATIONAL THEATRE MARKET.
