● Live campaign
A gift of a few hundred dollars helps close two access gaps at once: bringing meaningful theatre into communities that deserve more of it, and opening this life-shaping work to artists who might otherwise be left out.
What this was
An immersive three-week artistic adventure across Slovakia — from the cultural capitals of Bratislava and Košice to the village of Zemplínska Teplica and the mountains of Slovenský Raj — culminating in an evening of eclectic performance shaped by travel, cross-cultural exchange, and shared creative work with Roma youth.
The journey begins in Slovakia's capital — its lively old town, cobblestone streets, and towering castle set the stage, alongside the first creative workshops and meeting fellow traveling artists.
East to Košice, Europe's 2017 Capital of Culture and a UNESCO center for digital arts, where artists expand their work through co-creative workshops with a local theatre company.
In a quiet village, we join long-time partner ETP Slovensko for community-driven storytelling workshops with Roma youth, building stories to perform together on stage.
In the mountain wilderness of 'Slovak Paradise,' artists rest, reflect, and develop their work among gorges, waterfalls, and the UNESCO-recognized Dobšinská Ice Cave.
Back in Košice's old town, the journey climaxes in a celebratory evening of eclectic shared work — acting, song, film, dance — inspired by the cross-cultural experience.
