RESONANZ is an artistic and social cross-border initiative that strengthens both the cultural identity and the creative
\nsector of the Dutch-German border region. From Limburg and NRW, five core partners are building a sustainable
\nnetwork in which emerging creators – between opera and urban culture – develop new forms of expression, co-
\nproductions and audience engagement.<\/p>\n
What may seem contradictory at first – classical tradition versus urban dynamism – becomes within RESONANZ a
\ndriver of renewal and shared regional identity. Makers meet in crossover labs, masterclasses, contests and public
\npresentations. They develop new formats in the theatres of Venlo and Düsseldorf, in alternative spaces such as a
\nskatepark and through online platforms, while also aiming for wider circulation of the productions.<\/p>\n
The annual co-productions make this artistic development visible:
\nURBAN meets OPERA (2026–27) – a reinterpretation of The Seven Samurai, weaving together urban dance, martial arts
\nand opera around the question: What are you willing to fight for?
\nOPERA meets URBAN (2027–28) –– a co-production for skateparks in which a classical opera is retold in an urban
\ncontext, reaching and engaging a new audience.
\nURBAN OPERA (2028–29) – the final production in which the experiences and artistic impulses of previous years
\nconverge into an innovative, regionally rooted form and content that resonates with a broad and diverse audience.<\/p>\n
RESONANZ invests not only in artistic development. The five core partners – Maaspoort Theater Venlo, D’Haus Junges
\nSchauspiel, Nieuwe Helden Next Level, House of Movement and Viva Classic Live – integrate, together with their
\nnetwork partners, the complementary strengths of the Dutch and German cultural sectors into sustainable forms of co-
\nproduction.<\/p>\n
RESONANZ directly supports Interreg Priority 4: building mutual trust and cooperation between citizens, while
\ncontributing to professional development and the retention of creative talent in the Euregio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","pr-category":[276],"pr-priority":[290],"pr-stat":[254],"class_list":["post-44241","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry","pr-category-other","pr-priority-a-europe-closer-to-the-citizens-in-the-border-area","pr-stat-new"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/44241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pr-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-category?post=44241"},{"taxonomy":"pr-priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-priority?post=44241"},{"taxonomy":"pr-stat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-stat?post=44241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
