Gender Matters in tour represents the joint effort of four cultural operators from Italy, France and Portugal. An international team composed of actors and actresses, directors, technicians and managers will tour across Europe to engage different audiences with theater raising awareness of social issues concerning gender matters.
ABOUT GENDER MATTERS
The scenic poetry that pervades the tour is based on the fusion of different scenic languages. Theatre, music and modern circus come together to offer a theatrical experience that is both unique and visionary for the enjoyment of a transversal audience (young people, adults, families, cultural operators, etc.). Thanks to Gender Matters, the new co-production is presented as a physical journey as well as dreamlike, a small piece of humanity, “passengers of the impossible” between stereotypes, gender violence, sexual identity, gender roles and prejudices. We feel the need to address a complex and current issue that concerns everyone on earth, in an attempt to re-establish our body as the center of the desire for freedom, and to make ourselves aware of the implicit boundaries in this effort.

The pilot project Gender Matters represents a three year cooperation in the context of Creative Europe lead by Sciara Progetti Teatro. The project intends to tackle the crosssectorial issue of violence against women throughout the design and implementation of an Audience Development Strategy based on participatory methodology and non-formal methods. The project is a joint initiative of cultural players from Italy, Portugal and France. The theater has long served as a place for society to gather witnesses of our own conflicts. Artists, playwrights, directors and other professionals gather during art residencies to focus and bring to light several joint artistic endeavors.
The tour is an essential part of the project Gender Matter. The touring activity will allow artists, directors and technicians to travel across Europe and dialogue with various audiences on the topics brought to light by the project. One month travelling with the Bus Theater in the attempt to raise awareness amongst the general public and civil society organizations about sensitive issues.
