InhalteThe Institute of Global Solitude is a durational, site-specific piece conceived by blitztheatregroup.
The IGS is a fictional institute dedicated to the research, study and promotion of solitude. Every year, the IGS opens its doors to the public of cities around the world. The first version took place in Lisbon, the second one will take place in Fribourg in June 2018.
The spectators follow a strict protocol and a personalized schedule having one to one meetings with the performers, taking part in the Solitude tour guides around the city, attending the IGS conference or filling in questionnaires and application forms.
The Institute's ambition is to form a concrete mapping of solitude, using material from all the fields of human thought, from psychological/psychoanalytical articles to philosophical texts, from theatre plays to music and plastic arts, from video art to interviews from everyday people.

The workshop has to do with concretizing the dramaturgy of this site-specific piece and its rules. Putting the actor in the centre of the artistic process as the absolute creator, the workshop will evolve around the following issues:
• how the rehearsal and the actors themselves can produce texts, based on the group’s needs and questions
• how the group can work on the text that has been produced and how can they transform it into a concrete piece
• how older texts (theatre plays, novels) and how materials from other artistic fields (music, cinema, painting, dance) can be of help in the process of creating new theatre pieces
• how an actress/an actor should forget everything about acting and should start playing using an idea as a means that will lead them to certain theatrical actions.

About blitztheatregroup
blitz theatre group was formed in October 2004, in Athens, by Aggeliki Papoulia, Christos Passalis and Yorgos Valais. The group's basic principles are the following: Theatre is a field where people meet each other and exchange ideas in the most essential way, not a field for virtuosity and ready made truths. There is a need for answers to what society asks from art today and what theatrical structures stand for in the dawn of the 21th century. All members are equal throughout conception, writing, direction and dramaturgy process, everything is under doubt, there is nothing to be taken for granted, neither in theatre nor in life.
The group has created 15 performances so far and has presented its work in Theatre de la Ville, the Schaubühne, in Festival d’ Avignon and in various festivals in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, Austria, Lebanon, Turkey, Switzerland and Greece.
The group was nominated for the XIII European Theatrical Prize, New Theatrical Realities
