Ova jedinstvena turneja ima za cilj da, izvođenjem predstava i organizovanjem brojnih drugih sadržaja u pograničnim mestima Crne Gore, Hrvatske i Srbije, dopre do raznovrsne publike stavljajući u prvi plan teme različitosti, inkluzije i borbe protiv klimatskih promena. Multimedijalni i interaktivni performans koji govori o idejama, usamljenosti, emocijama i mašti doneo je barskoj publici jedinstven sadržaj i priliku za angažovanje mlade publike u kritičkim razgovorima otvarajući teme koje nisu tako često prisutne u našim zajednicama. Donošenje ove vrste pozorišta u male, pogranične gradove poput Bara ojačava misiju našeg projekta, a to je decentralizacija kulturne produkcije i omogućavanje predstava visokog umetničkog kvaliteta zajednicama koje su često izostavljene iz glavnih kulturnih krugova i razvoja kulturnih politika. Svi ovi gradovi, koji su deo naše turneje, bogati su kulturnom raznolikošću, ali nedovoljno vidljivi za donosioce odluka, a inicijative poput ove stvaraju mogućnosti za dijalog, učenje i povezivanje između različitih generacija i sredina. Fokusirajući se na osnovne teme i misije projekta, predavanje-performans „Lagarije – čas o surogatu“ ne samo da je zabavilo publiku, već je otvorilo i prostor za razmišljanje o zajedničkim izazovima i budućnosti. Angažovanje lokalne publike u njihovom sopstvenom kontekstu pomaže u izgradnji trajnijih odnosa između umetnika i zajednica u kojima stvaraju i predstavljaju svoje radove. Ovo je ključni korak u jačanju lokalnih kapaciteta i podsticanju dugoročnog kulturnog učešća u ovim i ovakvim multietničkim i ekološki osetljivim područjima.

MAKE-BELIEVE: A LECTURE ON THE SUBSTITUTE ON A TOUR IN BAR, MONTENEGRO
Last week, as part of the project From the First Step: A Rooted Tour, the lecture-performance Make-believe: A Lecture on The Substitute by the Drama Studio Empty Space (Prazan Prostor) from Podgorica was performed in Bar, Montenegro. This unique project aims to reach diverse audiences by presenting performances and organizing a range of other activities in border regions of Montenegro, Croatia, and Serbia, placing themes of diversity, inclusion, and the fight against climate change at the forefront. The multimedia and interactive performance, which explores ideas, loneliness, emotions, and imagination, brought the audience in Bar a distinctive experience and an opportunity to engage young viewers in critical conversations, opening up topics that are not often present in our communities. Bringing this type of performing arts to small, border towns like Bar reinforces the mission of our project: to decentralize cultural production and provide high-quality artistic performances to communities that are often left out of major cultural circuits. All the towns on our tour are rich in cultural diversity but remain underrepresented in decision-making processes, and initiatives like this one create opportunities for dialogue, learning, and connection between different generations and communities. Focusing on the core themes and missions of the project, Make-believe: A Lecture on The Substitute not only entertained the audience but also created space for reflecting on shared challenges and the future. Engaging local audiences within their own context helps to build lasting relationships between artists and the communities in which they create and present their work. This is a key step in strengthening local capacities and encouraging long-term cultural participation in these multiethnic and ecologically sensitive regions.
