“The Small Europes” tour program is promoted by the Cultural Area of the Region of Valencia. Our project directly affects rural areas where the idea of Europe least flourishes and where it is more necessary than ever to fight against populist/nationalistic ideas that tear especially sensitive communities with a clear social or economical disadvantage. These are the places where we can show and transmit the advantages of being European citizens. We can draft collaborative synergies between the European community represented by the multicultural group of actors and local communities.
It is a project that conveys the performing arts as an international language. We form a cohesive group of people through theatre who work in confidence to achieve common goals. Hence, we transmit the living image of a group of Europeans working together to the public through them and through the shows.
Every year actors/actresses from the European countries participate directly in the show, in addition to a few young European interns who join the production team.
The final objective is creating a new European narrative that implies culture, equal opportunities, the integration of refugees or migrants, economic development, the enhancement of the historical heritage or the conservation of nature as fundamental pillars for a new construction of the rural world.
The Small Europes is not only a program to expose the culture of the small villages and to share experiences with their inhabitants but also has an objective to become a constant educative mission through the reflection and the observation of the current society which we are in, and also of the reality of the European Union.
