From 2021, Studio for the Research on the Art of Acting is part of the international project “The Ways of the Heroes”, which explores the question of the power of the individual in relation to the environmental crisis through various artistic practices such as theater, film, literature and visual art. The project aims to encourage individual environmental activism and create ecologically aware communities.
The main partner of the project is the Macedonian National Theater from Skopje, in cooperation with partners from Italy (La Dramaturgie), Greece (Loop), Slovenia (Studio for the Research on the Art of Acting), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Studio Teatar), Serbia (Eho Animato) and North Macedonia (Gavroche Books). The project is co-financed by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union.
On Wednesday, 19th of April starting at 6pm the documentary film “The Ways of the Heroes” will be screened at the Krušče Creative Center. The film reveals the stories of twelve people from six European countries, who challenge the belief that the change can be achieved only by extreme steps and encourage us to think about our own contribution to the environment.
