"Up and Down" is a documentary performance created as a result of several months of work with young performers with Down syndrome. The performance represents the voice of a generation changing its position in society. Through theater, the young people learned about themselves and the world around them, and in the performance, they speak about their maturation and courage, independence and the rights that belong to them, as well as the barriers and challenges in society.
The performance raises questions: What does it mean to be different? How do we relate to one another? Do we truly know what Down syndrome is? Have we experienced judgment? What would we change in society if we were superheroes?
After the performance, from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM, a masterclass titled "Culture Belongs to Everyone โ Experiences and Practices of Inclusive Work" will be held.
The goal of the masterclass is to open a space for discussion about the challenges and opportunities of including persons with disabilities in cultural activities. During the meeting, the practices of the Association will be presented, along with experiences from inclusive artistic projects.
The masterclass will be led by Alena Dลพebo and Ermin Bravo.
