The projects keyword is fear. All we fear characterize us, characterize our society, our bondage, inertia and our battles. The project will focus on the differences in lives, thinking and fears in the two settlements covered by the project (Subotica and Szeged) on the two sides of the border and how they differ. A survey will be made involving people from both sides of the border, which will serve the professionals involved in the preparation of the joint theatre performance in defining the performance itself. This way the project will contribute to the specific objectives of the Programme, by intense cultural interaction promoting cultural values, traditions of different nationalities living on both sides of the border. This can be reached only through harmonic cooperation in promoting cultural diversity. Achievements: The projects keyword was fear. Everything we fear characterises us, characterises our society, our connections, our apathy, our battles. The project focused on the differences in the lives, way of thinking and fears in the two settlements, Subotica and Szeged, on the two sides of the border. The partners conducted a survey involving people from both sides of the border, which helped identify major issues that could be addressed and challenged in a theatrical piece. The artists and theatre professionals used the information obtained from the survey in the preparation of the joint performance. This way the project contributed to the specific objectives of the programme: intense cultural interaction and the promotion of the cultural values and traditions of the different nationalities living on both sides of the border. As part of the project, there were performances of the plays PassPort 1 – The City of the Daemons and PassPort 2 – The Devil Himself in both Subotica and Szeged, as well as at several important theatre festivals. The theatre performances attracted enormous attention and provoked different reactions. In order to promote their activities the partners prepared a brochure on the preparation of the performance and a DVD on the same topic. The project partners presented the life in the border region using the very expressive tools of the theatre. They managed to convey the moods, the problems and the situations which characterise the border area in an excellent way.
