Project of Generosity
Start date: Oct 1, 2010,

The Project of Generosity wants to make people give. When people, especially in an international context, don't speak the same language, communication becomes complicated. In such situations, we have to be more generous with ourselves to share with others.Finding a universal "language", a language to communicate about our values and vital questions, is the central idea of this project.Theatre of the senses is an art form that perfectly matches our goal. It creates amazement and has an explosive impact on the public as well as on the participants. It was developed in the late 20th century by the internationally renowned artist Enrique Vargas. POG is conceived as a cascade structure spreading this intriguing theatre form. Inspired by youngsters' generous wishes, Enrique Vargas will look for a formula to create a presentation that can pass on his 'Theatre of the Senses' philosophy to a group of professional artists. They will in their turn pass it on to youngsters to finally create a performance of generosity for a large audience of all ages. POG will spread the movement of reaching out and sharing.The project will take place over a period of two years, involving 5 European countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Slovenia and Spain. In 2011, through a website, youngsters will be invited to share their digital artistic contribution which tells us what they want to belong to and what they want to offer their community. These creations will inspire Enrique Vargas and a team of professional artists to make a presentation: a concert, a stage performance, or maybe even a parade. Young amateurs and future artists will work hand in hand with youngsters from difficult backgrounds to create a unique generosity performance.This performance will travel through Europe in the summer of 2012. It will be accompanied by the Book of Generosity, which invites people to add their dreams and to keep on spreading generosity.
