Arts on screen
In consideration of the global health situation, we have found it necessary to maintain our link with the different European actors and citizens. This interruption in international exchanges and various artistic projects has given us the opportunity to question and adapt our artistic and pedagogical practices. Arts on screen is part of a bigger project, OLA. Thanks to the help of our partners, OLA has enabled us to create and adapt artistic methods for use in the intercultural field.
With the support of the FGYO
With the collaboration of our partners Arpeggio (Greece), Associação Faísca Voadora (Portugal), Clash! Exchange & Learning (Germany), Gwennili (France), interkulturelles netzwerk e.V. (Germany), Union Peuple et Culture (France), Volonterski Centar Vojvodine (Serbia), Zukunst e.V. (Germany), as well as freelance professionals from Germany and Tunisia.

Dicotylédone
Dicotyledon! What a long word! And what does it mean? Is it a real word or a juxtaposition of syllables? Biologists will tell you that-yes -this word has a meaning. A show about the plant kingdom? Certainly not! Or maybe a little... In Dicotylédone concepts and ideas are transformed, diverted, rewritten. Dicotylédone is about lived or fantasized moments (and everything in between). It means swinging from one foot to the other. It is hesitating, hurting or affirming. It is wanting to grow, disappear or exist. Dicotylédone is a bit all of this. It is also a slightly pretentious presentation text full of oppositions already heard and read, which in no way whatsoever reveals the emotion and joy that this show endeavors to provoke.
This play was created within the framework of our playwriting workshop and premiered at the zukunst & Friends #1 Festival held in October. Dicotylédone is performed in French with German subtitles.

Mit offenen Armen, part 1
Mit offenen Armen is a Franco-German project that took place from 14-21 Septembre 2020, in Berlin. The exchange cooperatively addressed the idea of the hospitable city, and focus especially on solutions for the reception and accommodation of newcomers. Together with our partner, Quatorze (France) and our participants, we set out to invent new, welcoming solutions and architectural design tools to think about these spaces. This was an opportunity to reflect on what constitutes the feeling of "home", which enables the appropriation of space. What possibility for freedom remains in our cities and countrysides? The project is also the opportunity to reflect on the idea of migration and movement, which we choose to address through the means of live comics technique.
This part was conceived as a preparation for the second part of the exchange, which will take place in 2021. This last part will aim to continue the work on the themes already discussed, but will also include the construction of a tiny house for refugees in the garden or on the land of private individuals.
