Following a few months’ long acting workshop, the “You and I are We” project grew into a multiethnic theatre performance in which Albanian, Serbian and Roma secondary school students from Presevo and Bujanovac speak of growing up in South Serbia in their own languages, as well as in English. They also wrote the text of the play. Upon having a premiere in Bujanovac, the play was performed in Belgrade, in six Vojvodina’s municipalities and at the “Students’ Vukov sabor” in Trsic.
The “You and I are We” project turned into a youth center, where a similar multiethnic project is currently prepared in Kikinda.
The young from Kikinda are going to join their friends from Bujanovac and Presevo for the opening of the “Exit” festival. Tickets for the opening of the festival were provided to the young from Kikinda by the Government of the AP of Vojvodina.
