The Trojan Women (D.I.V.A.)

D.I.V.A. – Diversity, Inclusion, and Visibility in Arts is a project targeted to boost resilience and recovery from the pandemic caused cultural depression and provide Capacity Building prospects for its partners through cooperation, exchange of good practices and experiences. Small cultural operators suffered the most in the past two years, operationally, financially and in their ability to produce creative works, particularly those who were already facing difficulties, like the disabled groups of performers.

The creative activities will draw thematically from the Greek tragedy ‘Trojan Women’ by Euripides, the first ever-recorded literary work that deals with the catastrophic repercussions of war and forced displacement of people, the calamities that befall the victims, mainly women and children,and their suffering in a perilous world. The final production of a stage/digital play will be an amalgamation of the chronic and lingering menace of war and its repercussions.

The Consortium of partners is lead by THEAMA – Inclusive Theatre and includes Teatr Grodzki from Poland and Teatro Gato Escalado from Portugal, and Andreia Amaro was the communication strategist.
