Be part of Elegìa delle cose perdute!
A Dance and theatre community project will begin soon, involving everyone living in Iceland, with a specific focus on refugees and asylum seekers.
No special skills or abilities required, just the will to participate.
Dancers, actors, musicians and singers welcomed.
Be Part!
Be Part! is a two-year international project involving Iceland, Czechia, Mexico, Italy, Canada and the United States, which uses the artistic process as a tool to support the development of civil society, a sense of belonging and the visibility of marginalized groups.
The basic pillar of the Be Part! is a bilateral collaboration between artists and organizations from the Czech Republic and Iceland, to which professional artists from another country are invited in each part of the cycle: Brno - Foco alAire (MX), Reykjavík - Zerogrammi (IT), Prague - Michèle Steinwald & 44 Art Productive (USA/CA).

Be Part of Elegìa delle cose perdute
This time, a team of ten professional performers from the Czech Republic and Iceland will meet in the northernmost capital of the world - Reykjavík - and will work with the local refugees and asylum seekers community for almost three weeks under the leadership of the Italian ensemble Zerogrammi.
The work in Reykjavík will culminate with a joint performance Be Part of Elegía delle cose perdute which will bring together a large group of people of different origins, ages, experiences and languages: professional artists, local musicians and community participants. This large group will send a clear message to the audience: whoever we are, in the end we are all the same and our pains and joys have the same foundation. Distinct and yet the same, in such harmony.
In Iceland, the project takes place in cooperation with Dansverkstaedid, Reykjavík City Library, Kopavogur Art Museum, the Red Cross Iceland, Hamarinn Youth Centre in Hafnarfjordur, Reykjanesbaer municipality and other partners.
