Project
SAGN will examine new ways of developing the relationship between audience and artists. The audience in specific cities in Europe will therefore be drawn into the actual development of the performance, by inviting the public to share their local narratives and make the performances out of the local context. In this way SAGN will increase the access to and appreciation of our common cultural heritage. We would like to make a performance in each partners’ city. The performance can have different expressions (can also be exhibitions, concerts, etc). In Odder, Denmark, we are involving the whole city in the process. All children in our schools are working with local narratives. We are involving refugees, business communities, politicians, elderly etc. In the end the public will recognize themselves in the performance.
