The two phases of P P P

In the first phase of the project, locally oriented and sitespecific productions will be developed and presented.

8 young participants will travel to another country and be a part of the sitespecific production there.
Every performance will be presented as part of a festival. The themes are designed for public spaces and are strongly focused on socially relevant topics. The participants will co-create each performance.

Visually and dramaturgically, all performances will use mirrors in various shapes and contexts.The participants will work together with the professional creative team from PAN.OPTIKUM, and with several participants from a former similar project: POWER OF DIVERSITY – The Crossing Lines project, which PASSAGE Festival was a part of in 2015-18. In this way, PPP will be a development of this project, building on all the experiences and learnings and taking them a step further.

In the second phase of PPP, the young participants will create a largescale performance together with PAN.OPTIKUM, that will tour across Europe to all the partner-cities. Participants will be teamed up in several constellations.
