Under the mentorship of Rimini Protokoll, an international team, led by theatre director Attila Antal and architect Višnja Žugić, aimed on the artistic revitalisation of public spaces in three cities of the Western Balkans, Novi Sad (Serbia), Skopje (North Macedonia) and Tirana (Albania). The project engaged an international team of artists to research the problems of public spaces in these three cities, still in their phase of capitalistic transition, and to create site-specific, immersive performances that draw the attention of the audience to possible alternative ways of utilisation of these spaces. During the performances the audience participated in audio-visual immersive performances that took place in the streets, parks and squares of the three cities, guided by narrations and video interventions for a multi-layered theatrical experience.
