New focus on puppetry and visual theatre
IMPULSE!
CREATIVE EUROPE | 2023–2024
IMPULSE! – New Focus on Puppetry and Visual Theatre was a two-year Creative Europe cooperation project (2023–2024) that developed and honed more ecologically, economically and socially sustainable touring practices for puppetry and visual theatre.
Three partners from Europe’s northern and southern peripheries – Finland, Portugal and Lithuania – joined forces through their festivals: TIP-Fest in Turku, FIMFA Lx in Lisbon and ConTempo in Kaunas. KOSMOS THEATRE was the project’s partner in Lithuania.
