A beautiful word to use, maybe the word of the year, decade or even century? However, who
gets involved actually apprehends that its harder than it seems in the first place. Take the
matter and rise to a challenge to overcome ones own prejudiced ideas opens the door to a new
platform. We as performers on this daily stage becomes more tangible to ourselves and our sorroundings.

Dialogue means to talk to each other on the same level. In intercultural dialogue we can never
be sure that we really speak the same language as the person we talk to. Sometimes it is difficult
to handle this unsureness because it leaves us in an empty space. But if we cross this space,
if continue asking questions, if we constantly try to understand more and more, if we stay
curious and open, then we will reach abundance. We get to know better ourselves and our own
culture and we can understand more of what happens in the world. Life becomes easier and wider.
Art becomes richer and multifarious.
Dialog bedeutet miteinander auf gleicher Augenhöhe zu sprechen. Beim interkulturellen Dialog dürfen wir uns nie sicher sein, die selbe Sprache wie das Gegenüber zu sprechen. Manchmal ist es schwierig mit dieser Unsicherheit umzugehen, weil sie uns in einem luftleeren Raum zurück lässt. Doch wenn wir diesen Raum durchqueren, wenn wir Fragen stellen, wenn wir versuchen mehr und mehr zu verstehen, wenn wir neugierig und offen bleiben, dann gelangen wir zu einem großen Reichtum. Wir lernen uns und unsere eigene Kultur besser kennen und verstehen mehr von der Welt. Das Leben wird dadurch leichter und gleichzeitig voller. Die Kunst wird dadurch reicher und facettenreicher.
