The Polarity Party – European tour

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

European tour of “The Polarity Party”
An immersive participative event on polarisation by the MichaelDouglas Kollektiv (Germany)
The MichaelDouglas Kollektiv (Germany) and its participatory choreographic event “The Polarity Party” will travel to Bucharest, Sassari and Poznań, as well as in the digital world, in 2022! This immersive public event uses movement, perception (or senses) and dialogue to enable a process of collective thinking dedicated to challenges which are key in our societies such as polarisation.

Large groups of participants (max 120) will step into a field of action where choreography and conflict engagement meet. This artistic work is shaped by collective creative processes, in line with other practices meant to create more just, safe and connected societies, such as restorative justice.

The coordinator of this tour is the European Forum for Restorative Justice, a network organisation promoting dialogical responses to harm by engaging all those affected in coming to a common understanding and agreement on how the harm or wrongdoing can be repaired and justice achieved. Other partners are the Bucharest Fringe Festival (Romania) and the Malta Festival Poznań (Poland), two internationally renowned art festival with a programme dedicated to participatory approaches to arts and community building for social transformation and intercultural dialogue.
