FuN
Future = NOW! A Youth Manifesto (FuN) is een internationale samenwerking en uitwisseling van het Theaterschip met jongeren, nieuwe makers en organisaties uit Slovenië en Tsjechië.
FuN is gestart in 2022 en eindigt in november 2023.
Het project Toekomst = NU! dringt er bij ons allemaal op aan om echt verbinding te maken, niet alleen op lokaal en nationaal niveau, maar ook transnationaal en sector overschrijdend. Het project richt zich op de thema’s gender, klimaatcrisis en zelfzorg.
Gedurende het hele project zullen de deelnemende jongeren manifesten ontwikkelen die gebaseerd zullen zijn op grondig onderzoek, lokale manifestpresentaties, lokale conferenties en festivals. Daarnaast levert FuN een korte internationale coproductie en een hoorspel op en wordt er een korte film gemaakt over FuN waarmee we onze kennis kunnen delen na het project.
FuN is een artivistische manier om de meest levendige maatschappelijke vraagstukken van nu en in de toekomst aan te pakken. Met jongeren, door jongeren, voor jongeren.

Manifest
Het manifest ‘Please relax’ van het Theaterschip vertrekt vanuit het thema klimaatverandering.
‘It does something with you’, is what the American astronaut Edgar Mitchell said upon returning from his mission to space. He went to explore space but found earth. Our pale blue planet, which looked so tiny, between the vastness of space. This made him aware of the interwovenness of life. And he is not the only one.
So now we’re setting out on a mission to become our own do it yourself astronauts.’
