“A Farewell to Arms”, “Doorstination”, “Deep in the City”– for the first time, the international art festival “European Accents in Perm” is coming to Perm on September 3rd for three days.

It will be the highlight of the project funded by the European Commission within the Institution Building Partnership Programme "Support to EU-Russia Cultural Cooperation Initiatives". The core of this project is to create lively and sustainable partnerships among artists, cultural managers and cultural institutions from the cities of Perm and the European Capitals of Culture 2010 Duisburg (part of Ruhr2010) and Pécs. The festival will be the platform where it will be possible to show and see best cooperation projects of artists from Russia, Germany and Hungary.

The innovative projects are in the field of theatre, music, media and visual art or interdisciplinary, and they are developed in close exchange with citizens and exposition with public space.

The idea of the "European Accents in Perm" festival is to then go on the streets of Perm city and to perform and present in public space or on open air stages. This gives the public the opportunity to get into a more direct, eye-to-eye contact with the performers. Meetings and discussions with the audience after the performances will be organized.
