The Wedding
A play and a border-breaking project between two different theatres, cities and societies.
About the project
The idea for the play The Wedding was born out of a collaboration between two theaters, two cities and two communities: Blaagaards Theater in Copenhagen and the Theater of the Women of the Camp in the Borj el Barajneh refugee camp in Beirut. Together, the theaters will produce a play intending to break down the barriers between the refugee camp and the rest of the world and create understanding between different cultures.
The project has been created and is led by the two theatres Theatre of the Women of the Camp (LB) and Blaagaard Teater (DK). Furthermore, the project includes four other partners, being Hammana Artist House (LB) and Us, the Moon and Neighbours Festival (LB) and Sunflower Theatre (LB).
About the applicant
The Theatre of the Women of the Camp has been created and is driven by exiled Palestinian women living in the Borj El Barajneh refugee camp in Beirut. The Group uses the theater as a medium to create awareness, challenge narratives of exclusion and demand recognition on the local, national and international map. Through theatre, they unite to create shifts in perspectives and dialogue by expressing, addressing and rattling social, communal and political issues.
