Kristina Krsnik: PARTY FAIRY TALE
CROATIA
Theatre company MIST was founded in 2007. We are an inclusive company for children and young people with disabilities, so our goal is to include them in the creative act of dramatic creation. Involvement in these activities encourages these young people to grow, to develop and improve their life skills; it empowers individuals, improves social inclusion which promotes equality, raises cultural awareness, individual expression.Over the years, we have realized a few project–plays through the workshop drama-pedagogical process. Our projects regularly deal with socially important themes aimed at children and young people while we strive to give priority to Croatian authors and our members.
During 2022/2023 we implemented an inclusive EU project called “Online theatre for children and youth”.
By performing our plays, we actively participate in Zagreb’s cultural life, opening new horizons for the wider population. On the one hand, we encourage and empower the youth population who deal with a number of stressful situations caused by disabilities, on the other hand, we bring theatre to a larger audience but also encourage social sensitivity towards the population of people with disabilities, acceptance of differences and diversity in the community without stigma.
