HECUBA ports and suburbs along the Mediterranean sea is a project curated by Laminarie that weaves together a theatre research for the production of a new play with the desire to approach new audiences to the languages of performing art.
The goal of this project is double:
- to create a new performance that is nourished by several experiences in diferent cities and countries
- to test the specific method of “neighbourhood activation” developed by the company in the Pilastro area in Bologna by extending it to diferent territories and countries.
Laminarie decided to focus on Hecuba’s character because the Greek tragedy is universal and can be used as a mean of dialogue among different cultures and people across the Mediterranea Sea. Its characters are strong enough to involve people of different ages and backgrounds. Moreover, Hecuba is the story of a war told by the perspective of losers. It’s a symbol of a possible change of point of view in History’s narration.
HECUBA will be presented at the Teatri Metropol of Tirana after a ten-days residecy and workshop with local actors.
Constantly the project involved different partners around the topic of crossing borders.
