More about the project/What exactly is AERO?
theater: playstation has been workingwith the Calabria region in southern Italy for many years. In this economically isolated region, many traditional villages have been largely abandoned due to migration. At the same time, many refugees are crossing the Mediterranean.
As a result, models have been developed there to settle refugees in such depopulated places. Impressive examples of this are villages such as Riace and Camini.
Through ‘Nastro di Moebius’,a local cultural institution, theatre: playstation got to know this region and began to get involved there. This led to the idea for a documentary theatre project onsite. This new project aims to develop a broader platform: Together with Eastern Theatre in Lublin and Fabrika12 in Spain, we want to develop platforms that enable refugees to work artistically in their new environment.
In a project with Ukrainian actors, theatre: playstation developed the question of ‘home’ as a fictional place of belonging in the process of flight and sought points of reference from Homer’s Odyssey. We now want to use this question for this new cooperation project: for a European refugee odyssey.
We are organising four intensive, week-long seminar andnetworking meetings in four partner countries, in Hamburg, Valencia, Lublin and Calabria (Camini).
