HIT INTERNATIONAL THEATRE ARTS
Moving Theatre North.
We are about people and performance.
And we love theatre!
Purpose
HIT INTERNATIONAL THEATRE ARTS focuses on contemporary English-language theatre projects, which combine creatives from Scandinavia, Germany and the UK. Under the umbrella of the cross-border festival MOVE THE NORTH, the brand creates international cultural ties in Europe, with an extra focus on a region covering, though not exclusively so, Malmö/southern Sweden, Copenhagen and Hamburg. Both with its own original work and in house productions, the support and exchange of guest productions, as well as networking initiatives being produced and presented in all three regions.
Vision
At HIT INTERNATIONAL THEATRE ARTS we firmly believe in the power of culture. Our vision is to present exciting international performances, move theatre across country borders and create a network platform for artists to connect and work globally. We believe in relevant theatre of quality that provides food for thought and has strong entertainment value.
Mission
Our mission at HIT INTERNATIONAL THEATRE ARTS is to support the strategic growth of a vibrant and dynamic cultural bridge between the regions of Hamburg, Copenhagen, Malmö and beyond. In this way we create closer cultural ties in theatre between Scandinavia, the UK and continental Europe.
“If you want to make an impact, if you want people to discover the similarities between different cultures, countries, religions and mentalities, if you want people to reflect and react – use theatre, music and art." Quote by former Mayor of Culture in Copenhagen -Pia Allerslev, Move the North Ambassador and brand consultant.
Why now?
Art and culture thrive on movement and in interaction. Through encounters with other nations, new impulses can emerge. A living example is the Fehmarn Belt fixed link currently under-construction in this region. In 2029 the Fehmarnbelt fixed link, tunnel and accelerated transport routes will allow two of the most attractive regions of Europe to move closer together.
With its span from Malmö to Hamburg, HIT INTERNATIONAL THEATRE ARTS is uniquely placed to make this happen. A mutual cultural goal becomes a living experience for the people of the North - exchanging theatre and moving artists between the regions of Denmark, Germany, Sweden and beyond.
HIT INTERNATIONAL THEATRE ARTS is an open and inclusive brand, we audition for actors, are always looking for new partners, collaborations, experience and talent from the performing arts sector. Contact us if you have ideas to share.
