Philosophy

The international artists group Expedition Metropolis e.V. has its roots in the Polish tradition of „poor theatre“ (Teatr Gardzienice, Lublin). The group combines intensive artistic and philosophical exchange of its workshops with actual artistic intervention in various fields of social development and transformation.

EXpedition is a journey with and through art, with and in the theater. It changes us, sometimes in perpetuity, sometimes temporarily. Something is happening. Things and man appear in a different way; we see the possible and sometimes the necessary. Amazed and verifying we rub our eyes. From this results: mobility – beyond art, concrete, profane, ordinary, political, dynamic.

MEtropolis is not the most powerful city, but the starting point of the journey; the small piece of home in your suitcase; the lost time; the root in the air; the chamber of soliloquy; the celebration of remembrance; the short illusion of arrival; the vanishing point.

ExMe is a space of in-between, in which we can become.
