The coolest texts in Europe

Five European playwrights and four topics: teenagers, colonisation, undocumented people, and violence against women. The European project Between Lands pursues its task of promoting contemporary playwriting by choosing a male or female author (parity is a requirement) with whom we will work with a group. Four years, four topics led each year by a different theatre. A playwriting residency in the host country where the playwrights will debate, and meet with psychologists, philosophers, economists... The aim is to produce five fifteen-minute short plays which will form a collective play. The participating TNC playwright will be Daniela Feixas.

The TDDAY (Theatre Democracy Day) will be simultaneously held in the different theatres engaged in the project with a dramatised reading of all these short plays written around a topic, with debates and events with the groups with which they have worked to produce the texts. Every year a playwright from a non-EU country will be invited to ensure an even more different view of these topics. All the plays translated into six languages (Flemish, French, Catalan, Italian, Portuguese and English) will form part of the Library of Democracy, available to all those wishing to consult it.
