How does collaboration succeed? How do we find a common language, common processes, how can we simultaneously respect the different artistic perspectives and personal situations, even use them?
The artistic management team of the CHORUS PROJECT discusses what role European values such as solidarity, cosmopolitanism and trust play in this kind of artistic cooperation and whether and how the virus has had an influence.

Who has no text is probably not present. Whoever does not speak will not have been there for anyone. Whoever does not raise the voice will not become part of history- Nothing is not nothing when we will begin to speak. The lecture performance addresses the unsaid, unheard, unwritten stories of history. A queer feminist insight.

IT´S A JOURNEY
A film essay in four acts – road movie of the memory of theater // Team Agamemnon, PATHOS Munich
IT’S A JOURNEY looks back from the end to the beginning of the three-year international artistic cooperation THE CHORUS Project 2018 -2021.
What is and can the chorus be today?
How does it fan out anew in a globalised society preoccupied with great upheavals? How do the intellectual voices of the past transform into a contemporary interpretation of previously unheard voices?
Direct contact, the stage as a medium and socio-political place of negotiation is missing. The murmuring of the audience before it gets dark and the endless discussions after the performance are memories of a seemingly long-gone time.
We are in digital space.
IT’S A JOURNEY 2018-2021 is a tale of farewell and new beginnings, of the multidimensional beauty of the ephemeral.
Clytemnestra, Electra, Cassandra, Iphigenia and the Watcher are the queer-feminist heroines of the story in the departure of outdated structures and their artistic reordering in digital space.
From collected research material from the journeys, rehearsals and performances with the international project partners from Munich Skopje, London and Graz, from performative ventures and experiences, tested in Zoom meetings during the lockdowns and in the workshops with young people and senior citizens, an image and sound document of the overwriting of the 2500-year-old text material of Aeschylus’ Oresteia is created.
Every journey comes to an end at some point. IT’S A JOURNEY invites the audience to a road movie of intuitive memories of theatre.
