This is already the sixth edition of the festival organized by Nowy Teatr since 2020. Step out of the comfort zone? We don’t like to do it, we’re afraid, we cling tightly to the zone defined by therapeutic newspeak. Is there a proper one? Is there only one, shared by all? Maybe there are more, maybe they are mutually exclusive? The program of the 6th New Europe International Festival is a space for exploring discomfort. Where are the boundaries drawn? Which points are flashpoints? How far can you go? In the name of what? Whom? After all, someone suppresses these actions, someone applauds them, someone is afraid – belonging is entangled in (dis)comfort. Being "on someone’s side" requires both support and obedience – but is it possible to act outside the logic of loyalty, which often leads to uncritical following? How do you break free from this? Through nonconformity, provocation, voice and story, and even your own body. The invited creative individuals propose new communities, operating according to a different logic – expanding definitions and breaking through frames that restrict movement and thought. Their performances happen somewhere at the intersection of artistic gesture, activist engagement, and personal biography. They are always politically oriented, though not necessarily directly – they crystallize in ostentatious being outside, refusal to submit to the social contract, displays of non-normativity. They provoke other bodies to react. Something breaks. Light hardcore? Why not. We oppose the ephemerality and festivalization of cultural life with a festival in an ongoing formula. This year, exceptionally, we invite you already in June together with the Ephemera Festival to an event announcing the Festival – a trance experience with the Asian Dope Boys collective from Shanghai. We want the shows not to be short-lived events, but to become a regular practice of meeting with important creators of European and world theater. We invite you to jointly experience, discover, and confront diverse perspectives, to debates and conversations. This edition of the New Europe International Festival.
