The 4th international inclusive theater festival “ArtPlayBack. Together”

Inclusion and acceptance of the other stood again in the focus of this year's festival. The program of the festival was composed of four complementary components:

-       The public performances of different theater companies from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, which took place in the evening as closing events;

-       Workshops on social engagement and informal theater for simple visitors (exploration of unconventional theater methods) and practicing theater activists (training of individual theater techniques), which were held on two consecutive days;

-       "Meeting the Other" - talks and workshops with 10 NGOs which are dealing with minorities, human rights, low-mobility groups and social inclusion of internally displaced persons;

-       the experimental theater laboratory, which has explored the topic of "Me and the war: two cutting lines" on the basis of the cooperation of the three theater methods such as forum theater, playback theater and documentary theater and has developed a collection of individual experiences and stories of those involved.
