Om prosjektet:

UNLOCK THE CITY! is a culture-led regeneration project aimed at developing an integrated working method that combines technical scientific and design oriented research with theatre practice, making the latter a tool to trigger sustainable development processes in the post-pandemic city. Operating in places or areas that played a key role for citizenship during the pandemic, the project explores the concept of limit (economic, social, physical, etc.) in the intra- and post-pandemic city, on 3 different levels: building (Object), community (Subject), relationship between urban area and the theatre (Relationship). Thanks to the creation of an international network - which sees the close collaboration of artists, theatre operators, students, university professors & experts from different disciplinary fields - the project develops, over 36 months, surveys on the territory focused on the study of the landscape in the post-pandemic city and preparatory to the creation and realisation of 12 theatre performances entrusted to 10 European artists. These activities will be connected and implemented by workshops and thematic training courses for university students and will contribute to a macro-project objective: to generate a qualitative and perceptive growth in terms of habitability, accessibility and sustainability of urban spaces through awareness raising, empowerment and active involvement of communities, bodies, public administrations. UNLOCK THE CITY! is being developed in 6 different countries (Belgium, Czech Republic, Italy, Norway, Romania, Spain) and sees the alliance of 4 theatre institutions with a strong international vocation with 2 academies specialised in scenic design and 1 university specialised in the study of landscape. Like the city model to which it aspires, UNLOCK THE CITY! is an open project which, through a replicable method & the formulation of concrete proposals for action, aims to make a contribution to the European Union's Green Deal policies.
