Københavns Internationale Teater - KIT launched Metropolis in 2007 as a performance-based arts programme for the public space in Copenhagen.
Since then, Metropolis has extended to a platform for site-based and location-based work, still rooted in performance, but increasingly interdisciplinary. Its public programmes include curated walks, conceptual work, installations, dance and movement-based work, audio installations, contemporary music theatre, site-based performance art, durational performances, contemporary circus, etc.
The theme of Metrpolis’ next four-year cycle is ‘from Metropolis to Ecopolis’ with a focus on a more ecologically related artistic practice and cultural awareness and redefining cities as more hybrid and complex landscapes. With this open call, the organisers seek site-specific performances that connect to this theme for both 2024 and 2025.
Regarding content, the ecological can be explicit or implicit, it can be human or material, it can be the ‘narrative’ or how/where it is presented. It can take many different forms and approaches. Regarding production/touring, Metropolis are looking for work which uses a minimum of infrastructure and technology, and which can travel to Copenhagen with a minimum of CO2 emission.
Applicants submit a budget during the application process.
