Project summary

“The Sixth Sense”, by the young researcher and director Kateryna Lukianenko, explores the sensory theatre format to develop inclusive performances in which everything can be understood by both sighted and blind viewers, adults and children. The performances invite people to use all their five senses to discover a “sixth sense” able to make people equal as spectators despite disabilities. The idea of the project here proposed is to extend this Ukrainian experience to other countries, involving local artists and scholars in the development of an inclusive performance through the tools and methodologies already experimented with by Lukianenko. Three different workshops will lead to three different performances, in three different contexts.
