Two countries, two artistic proposals, a common vision: transcending borders and stereotypes through common European myths…

ORLANDO TRIP (Fox On Ice, AT) and DIDO (Company RAu, TR) present a poetic rebellion against the rigid borders that are a serious threat in all areas of life and societies. This special meeting presents two ancient European myths that have been repeatedly explored in world literature as contemporary stage performances. ORLANDO TRIP and DIDO mirror the universal human needs and emotions. This interconnected performance duo creates a space of shared synergy with its ancient texture, contemporary approach and utopian proposition.
SEA CHANGE is the name of an international initiative based on William Shakespeare’s term “fundamental change” and the transformative power of art. Launched in 2021 with the support of the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, Austrian Cultural Offices and embassies, the SEA CHANGE initiative continues to develop and involve partners in the arts, science, theater, festivals and universities worldwide.
