UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTERS

Large and smalhThe magic of thè encounter

The arrivai of most significant representatives of Danish theatre for chiidren and young people on thè Bth Bitef Polyphony is thè result of extremely successful previous collaboration of Little Theatre "Dusko Radovic"from Belgrade, Serbia, and Theatre "Corona La Balance" from Copenhagen, Denmark, with thè project within which thè Serbian versión of Danish performance "The Stone Brince" was realized. The collaboration continúes in thè form ofa new partner project that will be realized through thè collaboration of Theatre "Bosko Buha"from Belgrade, Serbia, and Theatre "Carte Bianche" from Viborg, Denmark. The project will be based on thè experiences from Danish performance "Play", thè production of Theatre "Carte Bianche". The goal of thè project is to create a professional and artistic base for producing Serbian versión of thè production "Play", which will be presented at thè 9th Bitef Polyphony in 2008. The project is supported by ASSITEJ centers in Denmark and Serbia, and UNlMASerbia. Coordinator ofthe project is Peter Jankovic, director and artistic manager of Theatre "Lampe" from Copenhagen, President of ASSITEJ Denmark.

"Carte Blanche" is an experimental theatre, creating performances for thè magical chlld that lives in each one of us. "Carte Blanche" works with an abstract language in which understanding and experience bave their place in irrational, emotional spaces of our consciousness. The goal of "Carte Bianche"is to offerto thè chiidren - and to thè adults - artistic, aesthetic, and historically absurd experiences by inviting them, as audience, into thè imaginary world ofthe performance and thè visuals.The world that exists beyond any logie.

"Carte Bianche" is run by SaraTopsae-Jensen, artistic director, andThorkild Andreasen, manager.
