  New ballets (Les Nouveaux Ballets)
  Nord-Pas de Calais, France
  
  Choreo-drama with elements of puppetry
  Target Audience: 12+
  a play for young people
  
  This very genre-innovative play, created by an all-female author team and inspired by the works of the American she-photographers between the decades of the 60s and the 80s of the 20th century, rethinks our relationship towards photography in the modern world, but also towards concepts such as self-representation, normality/abnormality, monstrosity, animalistic/humanely, reality/illusion…
  A special influence on this play comes from famous photographer Diane Arbus, who dedicated her work to the normalisation of marginalised groups and who fought for equal representation of all people (from strippers, nudists, people of extremely short stature, etc., to children, pairs, older people, middle-class families and so on…)

• 8. The Brave Little Seamstress

  
  

  Kruševac Theatre
  Kruševac, Serbia
  
  Drama play
  Target Audience: 6+
  
  „The Brave Little Seamstress“ is the first part of the ecological triptych that thematises the pollution caused by the textile industry across the world. The starting point for working on this play was “A Brave Tailor” fairy tale and the photographs of children sitting on a textile hill, which is now a pile of junk. Thematising courage as a term and as an attribute in a world full of cowardice, the main character whose name (quite deliberately) is Drina, the now dying tailoring craft which is a superpower, are just some of the things we deal with. This play has animated the community of the City of Kruševac. Through textile donations, the scenography and costume came into being. “The Brave Little Seamstress” was created by giving absolute freedom to one classic of literature to become the read and load area to solve problems of the modern world.

• 9. Who Killed Janis Joplin?

  
  

  Serbian National Theatre and Novi Sad European Youth Capital
  Novi Sad, Serbia
  
  Musical drama play
  Target Audience: 12+
  
  
  At the same time, insecure, gentle, rejected and unprotected everlasting little girl, but also a brave and aggressive initiator of a new criteria list for women– Janis Joplin – with her uncompromising authenticity, she paved the way to a new generation of women. The play „Who Killed Janis Joplin?“ is full of intrigue which takes us to the '70s of the last century, into one hotel room in which, only 27 years old, Janis Joplin has died. Through her life story, the play draws parallels with the position of women in today's society, 52 years after the death of the main character.
