BLUE STAGE

THE HOUSE OF WORLD CULTURES

The House of World Cultures was founded in 1989 in Berlin as a forum for a
continuous dialogue between western and non-western cultures. Concentrated
on contemporary cultures the House of World Cultures is a podium of all art
genres: music, dance, theatre, art, film and literature. By
interdisciplinary combination of these different forms of presentation the
House of World Cultures enables a multi-faceted view on other cultures and
people. The Mediterranean has always been in the focus of the work of the
House of World Cultures (nine conferences concentrating on the cultural
exchange with the Mediterranean since 1990, combined programme of
Mediterranean cultures October 1995 - March 1996).

BLUE STAGE

Blue Stage is a multi-media space of knowledge and experiences. It will be
installed in the House of World Cultures in an area encompassing 60 square
metres in august 2001 and will be shown until end of september 2001. The
focus of Blue Stage lies on the up-to-date conveying of knowledge about
other cultures using newest technology application. Pictures and film, text
and sound information as well as lighting effects are united in one room
and conveyed in real time via all senses. Blue Stage is open for everybody.
Special knowledge is not required. Instead of offering a mere flood of data
the information of Blue Stage is structured and individually retrievable.
Blue Stage is realized in cooperation with two European institutions, the
Festival International Montpellier Danse and the Danish Center for Culture
and Development in Copenhagen, and supported by the European Union.

MEDITERRENEAN INFORMATION CENTRE

Blue Stage wants to value the contemporary arts scene of the Mediterranean
region. The aim is to give new perspectives of the South of Europe and its
neighbours. Blue Stage will replace any tourist approaches with a panoramic
view on the richness of contemporary art production in the Mediterranean.
The installation will represent the most interesting and exciting artists,
developments, initiatives, institutions and festivals in the Mediterranean
by images, photographs, music examples and texts.
Out from the Mediterranean information centre emerges the second thematic
axe of Blue Stage: urbanism. Blue Stage will show how the concept of the
city, originating from the Mediterranean, has changed. The shape of cities
nowadays is more influenced by migration processes and art and culture than
by architectural concepts.

COOPERATION

Blue Stage retrieves its fascination by the wealth of the integrated
material (texts, images, photos, films, music, sounds). To realize the
project the House of World Cultures invites all interested individuals and
institutions to cooperate. Blue Stage offers the partners a platform in
Berlin. Information on their art, their work, and their institution will be
integrated in the installation, providing high quality representations to a
wide local and international public.
