PASSAGE Festival is a living street theatre festival in constant evolution and expansion. PASSAGE Festival 2021 will take place on 26 -31 July 2021 in Helsingør, Denmark.
PASSAGE Festival 2021 explores the cosmopolitan heart of Helsingør in Europe. More than 50 European performers, poets, artists will present their works in Helsingør accompanied by almost as many cordially invited youths from 10 European countries.
The PASSAGE Festival has a large program with international artists. 78 Tours by the French collective of circus acrobats La Meute will take the audience on a hypnotic journey as they explore the legendary Wheel of Death. The poets Ana Ristović, Tomica Bajsić and Ana Svetel write in Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian, and will be presented at the festival under POETRY IN BACKYARDS in collaboration with the international poetry festival Poetry and Wine in Ptuj in Slovenia. About 50 youths from European countries will be involved in the PASSAGE Volunteer Camp, a new folk high school format with different courses which will play an active role in many of the festival’s events.
PASSAGE Festival is also a partner in the largescale dance-and theatre project People Power Partnership (PPP). In 2020-2024, PPP will create a total of 14 performances, which will be presented 27 times in public spaces in 11 different European countries in a collaboration between 14 partner-cities and festivals.
