Lost kingdoms and frozen conflicts, melting pots and museum pieces, grey areas between the black and white of competing nationalisms...
Welcome to Marchland, Théâtre Volière’s season of performance and interdisciplinary events from Europe’s borderlands.
Marchland is our response to the crises of identity currently sweeping Europe, a season of events in which many traditions come together and ask: What can the voices from Europe’s liminal spaces, past and present, tell us about what it means to be European today?
