Cross the Line is a research, training and theatrical creation project dedicated to young audiences.

Cross the Line is a shared creative process.

It is a project of theater and architecture.

Line. Boundary. Boundary. Conflict.

There is always a line beside us.

We walk beside it or cross it again and again, it tells us when to stop or reminds us where we wanted to go.

These are the new and old architectures that draw cities like the natural boundaries that have always united and separated.

There are physical lines, clearly visible and clear to everyone, and there are imaginary lines, which no one has ever seen but which are just as clear.

There are lines that move through space and others that travel through time.

There are inner lines, more or less crossable limits within each of us.

There is always a here and there is always a beyond. There is always an I and there is always an Other.

On this side there is me. My space, my things, my way of being and doing.

On this side is my world.

Beyond the line is you.

The line is an expression of conflict.

It is the conflict that separates the superficial self from the inner self.

It is the complex distance between real and virtual.

It is a wall dividing a country, it is the horizon shaping between center and periphery.

To cross the line is to choose.
