NXTSTP, The Second Generation
The Culture Programme of the European Union renews its support for NXTSTP by attributing a second term 5 year funding to NXTSTP, The Second Generation

NXTSTP is a network European performing arts festivals that came into being in 2007 to provide an extra shot of energy to the co-production and circulation of the performing arts in Europe.

In 2012, the first term of NXTSTP concludes, but another is already under construction.

a coming community

Over the last ten years, Pieter Ampe, Guilherme Garrido, Hermann Heisig and Nuno Lucas met in different combinations and various circumstances. The striking similarities and contradictions in both their work and their personal lives made them dream of establishing something as a quartet. a coming community will thus be the first production they will make together. How does the social need to belong to something correspond with our individual desires? The four boys search for ways to relate and present themselves as a team in order to inhabit new territories. By doing so, inventing a group becomes a craft, and they’ll drag you softly along their world of fantasy and imagination. They have the ambition to make something fabulous out of something ordinarily mundane. Still not knowing where this common journey will take them, they are ready to give everything so that history can happen.
