BREATHLESS
Breathless is an artistic and cultural initiative that merges creative expression with social awareness, offering a platform where art becomes a powerful tool for communication and transformation. Rooted in the belief that theatre and performance can spark critical thought and inspire change, this project aims to foster new interdisciplinary collaborations, expand professional networks across borders, and engage diverse audiences in a meaningful dialogue about urgent ecological and societal concerns.
At the heart of Breathless is a deep focus on medical ecology, particularly the escalating problem of air pollution in the Balkans - a crisis that affects public health, quality of life, and the environment at large. Through the development of an interactive performance, the project seeks not only to illuminate these pressing issues but also to personalize them, allowing participants and audiences alike to reflect on the physical and psychological consequences of living in polluted environments.
The project invites artists, performers, and creative thinkers to join forces in a shared process of artistic research and expression. It encourages experimentation and exchange, emphasizing the power of collaboration in tackling complex global problems.
Goals :
• To create: Engage in an intensive, multidisciplinary creative process that results in the development and presentation of an original artistic work, shaped by the experiences and voices of the participants.
• To connect: Foster international and regional cooperation by strengthening professional development, encouraging dialogue, and building long-lasting networks among emerging and established artists, activists, and cultural workers.
• To raise awareness: Use the power of performance to bring attention to critical environmental and health issues, while motivating audiences - especially young people - to reflect, question, and take action toward building a more sustainable and conscious future.
