Open call for artists working in the public space
Restrictions and demands from authorities about how to behave in the public space, closed boarders, and global traffic on hold. This means there are new ways in which an international street theater program must go on in the public space. New ways, that aren’t necessarily obstructive, but which might make way for new possibilities.
The PASSAGE Festival is launching a new platform called b y p a s s, that seeks artist who challenge the restrictions caused by Covid-19.
If you have an idea or a project that is relevant to develop or show in the public space, then apply to the open call in order to participate in b y p a s s.
PASSAGE Festival – a festival that lives and breathes
PASSAGE Festival is one of the few European street theater festivals that isn’t cancelled.
We are standing our ground, because we are a living and breathing festival that isn’t tied to fixed, institutional structures. The festival takes place in a public space, that is in contant movement. To adapt changing conditions is the very condition in with theater and art in the public space work. Covid-19 is merely a new dimension. It makes PASSAGE Festival more actual than ever before. Therefor we insist on completing the festival, even though we much change the framework and the program radically and find alternative ways in which to operate.
