Théâtreévasion: dove il linguaggio teatrale supera le barbarrie linguistiche

Abstract

ThéâtrEvasion (or TheaterFlucht) is a project by SCI Switzerland, a non-profit organisation engaged in the management of international voluntary projects, with the aim of promoting positive peace, non-violent resolution of conflicts, social equity and sustainable development. The project intends to build bridges between volunteers, Swiss, foreign, refugee and asylum-seeking children, through theatre and circus activities, games, music and painting. This project features a notable wealth of linguistic backgrounds, which is promoted by including the different languages in the activities. Language diversity also becomes an incentive to find new ways of communicating and expressing oneself. Since its planning, ThéâtrEvasion has adopted the theatrical language and games as chosen tools to overcome language, cultural and emotional barriers, through body language, enthusiasm to learn new things and the will to create something together.
