Open call for proposals on work and happiness

Two projects will be selected to become part of the line-up of the upcoming International Seminar on Work and Happiness, which will be held during the Pergine Spettacolo Aperto Performing Arts Festival (Italy), on the 14th and 15th of July 2017.

European artists are invited to design two kind of ‘training’ activities: workshops and lazyshops, which will respectively examine, through an artistic approach, the meanings and practices of work and non-work.

Projects must be submitted in English via the digital platform  by the 22th of April 2017.

Does a person feel happier working or not working? Does work provide the solution for our collective happiness? Or rather does laziness?

These are some of the core questions of A manual on work and happiness, an international collaborative project which brings together Artemrede (Portugal), Pergine Spettacolo Aperto (Italy), L’arboreto – Teatro Dimora di Mondaino (Italy) and the Municipal and Regional Theatre of Patras (Greece) under the artistic direction of Portuguese theatre company mala voadora and in collaboration with Catalan playwriter Pablo Gisbert.
