THE MYTH OF THE ABDUCTION OF EUROPE
A myth of destiny, existence and love
Greek Cultural Company WORLD-CEF would like to go deep into the foundation of the European Continent through historic myths and other forms of Art . The aim of the program is the sensitization of the public through mythological elements in the common past of populations that compose states with different cultures, focusing on the things that bring us together, like common cultural heritage, rather on those that set us apart, like economic profits and nationalistic interests.
The myth of the ABDUCTION OF EUROPE is an erotic, mythological element in the history of Europe from one side and from the other was the reason of wars and immigration. The world of mythology for all of us remains a world intellectually precious and sentimentally beloved, as it combines in a unique way the game of the inexhaustible and unlimited imagination with deep individual and cosmogony conscience.
The myth of Europe, teaches that all begin from a dream that all we make in our life is in order to achieve this dream, by writing our destiny and following the travel that is difficult, full of pictures and experiences. Travel that leads to the knowledge of life, love, and pain, to the comprehension of destiny and to the love of life and existence, making our soul complete the life circle. If today we can brought up these meanings through a myth then we will have to thank the “girl Europe” and try to make the continent that took her name from, her citizens and our life better and better every day.
In this program we could like
· to write a play and produce performances on “Europe – The myth of our destiny”
· to do seminars and workshops with thematology: from myths to grand narratives, the performing body, myths in theatre
· to organize an exhibition from 2nd ph century to up today regarding the abduction of Europe
· to have a symposium in Athens with European artists
· Multimedia and internet presentation
We would like in this study of the myth of Europe to find co-organizers from all countries of Europe that include the program CULTURE 2007-2013 and came across similar topics or would like to try with us a great experience. We are open to all forms of cooperation with theatrical and dance companies, universities, multimedia experts and visual presentations.
