MISSION/VISION

Mission

Theatre Embassy sees a world in which art and culture are self-evident, necessary factors for the integral development of people, society and civilisation. In this ideal world the artist plays a central role as the driving force behind change and sustainable development. Theatre provides the necessary open podium: theatre integrates a variety of art forms, irrespective of culture or continent, and moves a broad public.

Vision

Theatre Embassy's objective is to achieve global sustainable development: we focus our attention on socio-cultural development and human forms of expression. Theatre Embassy believes that the magic, power of expression, historical awareness and innovative capacity of the theatre contribute to the development of the world's societies and civilisations. The universal language of the theatre unites people in their hopes, dreams and ideas: it offers them new perspectives for viewing the world. This in turn contributes to their well-being and happiness.

Our creative encounters and cooperation with our partners are based on equality. Our joint creation of theatre pivots on diversity and reciprocity. We enter into creative cooperation with artists who have the courage to stick their neck out in societies in which the political or economic conditions complicate the realisation of certain forms of art expression. These artists engage with their social surroundings and often operate in communities with restricted access to artistic schooling and other forms of incentive and inspiration for their work.

In view of our unique focus and efforts we can justifiably be referred to as an innovative development organisation which is active at the level of the development of creative network links. Theatre Embassy works with partner organisations in Africa, Latin-America and Asia with the objective of enhancing the cultural infrastructure and developing a global cultural network. We exchange and lay down knowledge and experiences - and we succeed in completing projects that the makers could formerly only dream of.
