"ERASMUS KA2 - from Aesop to La Fontaine" project
In collaboration with the European Community, the City of Marino, the Artemista Association, the Zorro and Toulouse Company (France), Kinoniki Sinetairistiki Epicherisielliniki Symmetochi Neon (Greece) and Bilgi ve Beceri Dernegi (Turkey). "The goal of this project is to (re)discover the ties that have united our countries for a very long time, to realize that we have more in common than in opposition. To achieve this goal, we propose that our young participants prepare a performance based on a common literary tradition: the fables of Aesop in Greece, which gave birth to Phaedrus' Fables in ancient Rome, and then to the very famous Fables of La Fontaine in France. But we will go even further, because Aesop was not born in Greece: he was a slave in ancient Phrygia (now Turkey). We will begin our literary research and performance with the ancient traditional stories of Turkey, from which Aesop was probably inspired. From Turkey to France, from Aesop to La Fontaine, to remind us that we are all brothers."
