ENCOUNTER: JUMP!

Jump into the unknown. Courage. Uncertainty. Risk. After thirty years, we are running out of runways. It’s time to (end) jump.

The average duration of one generation is thirty years. The Encounter festival has already crossed this milestone. What will be next? How to move forward when we do not know what awaits us? And what to take with you? Use tradition and established values as a parachute? Or jump easily? There is no right decision. But whether we want to or not, we have to jump. Jump and believe. Jump and don‘t think about landing. Take a firm stance, bend your knees, stretch and …

The future requires a choice. #JumpOrDie

1. JUMP AS A MANIFEST OF COURAGE

Only the man who stands firm can jump – the jump requires determination and a bit of madness => Are we ready?


2. JUMP AS LIBERATION

“We are running out of runway”, so it’s time to evaluate everything we’ve learned from the previous generation and take our own step => What is the theater today? Who’s watching?


3. JUMP AS A POINT IN SPACE AND TIME

A point where it is necessary to either stop, jump (make a radical choice), or fall off a cliff => #JumpOrDie


4. JUMP OVER THE STREAM

A new meaning, leave the turbulent times (current pandemic) and GO ON.
