STORYLINE: In 2004 George Steiner gave a lecture at the Nexus Instituut (NL). Its title was “The Idea of Europe”. He reflected on the basics, the core ideas that constitute that which we call Europe. Steiner went through History, Politics, Religions and schools of thought, but also through Geography, Litera- ture, Music and popular traditions that, over the centu- ries, have become the pillars of our society, though often enough we aren’t able to recognize these ideas as our roots. All this happened before the crisis, in a moment when European Social and Identity values where asleep, and people thought that money and welfare would always be granted. But, even then, Steiner asked himself and kept asking us about the meaning and sense of all this. TAGLINE: Is the idea of Europe still valid?

3 The Idea of Europe perienced at the same time as a communication obstacle and as an unusual richness. Do we, the European people, really feel we are part of the same collective? How much do we have in common, and how much keeps us apart? And, in the end... Do we really know ourselves? Who are we? Who do we want to be? THEME: Identity as a personal and collective subject. The past as a foundation of an unwritten future. TARGET: Young and adult (+18), although some pieces (ie the webseries) are classified as +12 and can be watched independently. 3 The Idea of Europe perienced at the same time as a communication obstacle and as an unusual richness.

4 The Idea of Europe “The Idea of Europe, an open dialogue” is a collaborative transmedia project. Its starting point is the conference from which it takes its name. George Steiner is, undoubtedly, one of the great thinkers of our time, and in this text he presents the ideas that, to him, are the guiding principles on which Europe is built. The conference provides a wealth of intellectual depth, a passion for the issues it tackles and sincere concern for our way of thinking (which ultimately makes us one way or another). This project’s proposal (and what justifies the use of mul- tiple platforms), is to provide a kaleidoscopic view of Eu- rope. In doing so, Steiner’s text transforms into a map to guide us, a starting point, but never an endpoint. The idea is to open up the debate, arouse questions from those attending the narrative. To invite all the citizens of Europe to the construction of this project given that, if the idea of Europe may be valid, it will be as a result of the collective construction that endorses it. Thus, the narrative as a whole is intentionally polyhedral since it supports pieces of an informative, educational and documentary tone, but also speculative ones. If all the pieces that make up the project revolve around “The idea of Europe” (the original text), around the ideas that are exposed there, it also serves to return them to the Concept 4 The Idea of Europe “The Idea of Europe, an open dialogue” is a collaborative transmedia project.

. 9 The Idea of Europe TITLE: “The Idea of Europe” FORMAT: Stage Play. CONTENTS: In 2010, Òscar Intente, a catalan actor, found a copy of George Steiner’s lecture. The text inmediatly captured his attention, as it was so full of ideas and images. And an idea crossed his mind: why not turn this same text into a monologue? He started working on it. His aim was to bring the text to the theatre, to interprete it and to turn the lecture into a true theatre piece, without changing a word. And so he did. He converted an academic text into the chit-chat of a sympathetic “clochard” on the terrace of a cafe. Ocassionally, a mute accordeonist helps him trough the show but, in the end, he uses Steiner’s very same words. A different situation, a different medium, the same emo- tion. You only have to attend one representation to feel it in the air: the public gets hypnotized by this profound and compelling work. The play has been on and off stage since its first day. Each time the text has been respected, and the staging has been adapted to local conditions, creating a unique and unforgettable experience. It has been shown in theaters, Pieces - Play

. 10 The Idea of Europe cafes, auditoriums, university classrooms, private gar- dens and cultural centers and associations. Òscar Intente speaks the text in Catalan, his native language, because, as Steiner himself says: “There are no minor languages”. The play is always ready to be represented anywhere. Furthermore, the possibility of incorporating a stage cap- tioning system allows it to be represented in front of any audience of any country.

. 11 The Idea of Europe TITLE: “The Idea of Europe” FORMAT: Feature-lenght documentary (80’ aprox). CONTENTS: Òscar Intente enters an auditorium and pre- pares his theatrical adaptation of “The Idea of Europe.” We attend the performance, that serves as the storyline for our documentary. The staging of the text marks the different parts and clearly shows the development of Stein- er’s ideas. It is important to understand that this is not “filmed theatre”, but “a film about the contents of a theatre play” which, in this case, reflects upon many important subjects related to the origin, the meaning and the sense of Europe. Is the idea of Europe still valid? That is something we all must answer. The footage of the representation is combined with other images, showing Intente continuing his discourse, where the theatre set is replaced by real settings related to the text, adding a totally new dimension to what he says. As he gives his speech and adresses the audience, we can see how he walks through the streets of different European cities, showing the original landscapes that in- spired Steiner’s ideas. The images also include additional material: still photog- raphies, graphics, paintings, drawings and newspapers as well as archive footage from TV news, documentaries, Pieces - Feature-length Documentary

Anything that helps to illustrate the text and to give a cin- ematic dimension to the film is allowed, because this is a big screen experience and it wants to take the audience to an emotional peak. Here is a link to the teaser: http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5H-RzBq9eE

. 13 The Idea of Europe TITLE: “The Making of the Idea” FORMAT: TV Documentary (25’ aprox.) CONTENTS: This documentary shows the process of the creation of the text, the stage play and the feature-lenght documentary. The follow-up of the action serves as a guide to the audience, from the seminal idea to the public delivery. Structured along a long conversation between Òscar In- tente and Montecarlo, the documentary works on two different levels. The first one is the text itself (Steiner’s discussion of the Idea of Europe) and how the author was invited by the Nexus Instituut to deliver his speech. It includes interviews to members of the Nexus board, to Steiner himself and to other relevant names of European insitutions that can helps us clarify the questions posed by the author. The second level shows the struggle of Intente and Monte- carlo to adapt the text to different media and to bring it to wider audiences. The TV documentary ends with an open question (“Is the Idea of Europe still valid?” and a call to action to the audience to collaborate in the webdoc. Pieces - TV Documentary (50’)

. 14 The Idea of Europe TITLE: “The Last Coffee” FORMAT: Documental televisivo (25’ aprox.) CONTENTS: The piece is a creative documentary that combines historical elements with fiction ones to create a single, coherent speech. Set in the present, it has as its background the Syrian tragedy, and it is both a reflection on the history of Europe and on the drama of immigration, forced dis- placement, frontiers and bureaucracy as a tool of power. The plot is structured around a fictional encounter between Òscar Intente, the actor playing “The Idea of Europe”, and Walter Benjamin, German philosopher. When the former gives a performance at a memorial event for the second, he decides to go to Portobou, place where Benjamin, feeling hopeless by the inabi- lity to escape the advancing Nazi troops, killed himself in 1940. There, in a cafe (which functions as the timeless ele- ment that allows the simultaneous presence of both characters), takes place a conversation between Òs- car and Benjamin, in which the latter will present the main ideas of his critical thinking, and which will ari- se the question about if we have been able to im- prove our conditions since the days of World War II or, on the contrary, we remain stuck in an endless barbarism. Pieces - TV Documentary (25’)

. 15 The Idea of Europe TITLE: “The Idea of Europe Ofifcal Website” FORMAT: Website CONTENTS: This is the offical site of the multiplatform project. It contains general information about it and the main menu will include access to all the pieces that shape the transmedia narrative. (In a way it will be similar to the Table of contents to this dossier). Every section will give a detailed explanation about its subject, with additional information (trailers, reviews, etc...). It will also contain the entire webseries and the collaborative webdoc (see respective sections). It will be completed with links to other websites of special interest (such as cultural institutions related to the main subject, forums and more). Pieces - Website

. 16 The Idea of Europe TITLE: “Shaping Europe” FORMAT: Webseries (5’ min x episode) The number of episodes is undefined, due to the nature of the subject. CONTENTS: George Steiner’s “The Idea of Europe” is full of ideas that keep crossing all over the text. Here are some names and concepts that appear in it: Edmund Husserl, Soren Kierkegaard, J. P. Sartre, Walter Benjamin, Max Weber, Charles Peguy, Schubert, Mahler, II World War, Athens, Jesuralem, Mathematics, Speculative Thinking, Music, cafes, anti-Semitism, religion, monothe- ism, the sense of an ending... Each video is a short-feature documentary, a kind of mon- ographic clip about the selected subject. Although all of them are autonomous pieces, some ideas run in a transversal way. The pieces are meant for an audience of +12, and they are oriented towards education. Pieces - Webseries

. 17 The Idea of Europe TITLE: “The Voices of Europe” FORMAT: Interactive Video CONTENTS : The idea is to ask the audience to contribute to the development of this interactive documentary send- ing a video scene (which will correspond to a line-shot from the original documentary ) . This contribution can be shot as no matter where and when, and in any (European) language. (Minimum techni- cal requirements will be indicated) . All contributions will be accepted under a Creative Com- mons license, in order to have proper authorisation for their use and distribution. The basic idea is to create interchangeable parts, scenes that can replace the original scenes from our documentary. Each upload will be properly tagged (for language, sex, age and any other relevant information). These contributions will be accompanied by the authors’ comments explaining their point of view or why they have chosen this particular line . They may include links to blogs or sites that expand the experience. Steiner’s original text has to be respected to its full extent, as has been the case throughout the entire project. (And yes, it can be heard in any European language). Pieces - Webdoc

. 18 The Idea of Europe Later, through an interactive menu, any visitor can request a free viewing of the documentary, by personal choice of viewing criteria. Thus, despite that the original text is pre- served, the user experience will be different in each viewing . Furthermore, the contribution of reviews, comments and links will ensure the possibility of opening up the dialogue beyond the borders of our own project.

. 19 The Idea of Europe This project will have extensions on social networks (Fa- cebook, Twitter ...) seeking direct communication with both the audience and potential contributors. The use of each network will optimise its corresponding characteristics (Twitter: realtime dialogue / Facebook: news broadcast...). An important part of the project is the user generated content (UGC) which, as we have seen, will be channeled through the webdoc, and from there, expanded to other websites. One option we keep in store would be the live use of social networks as back channel and space for debate at theatre representations. This is a live project, and therefore provides possibilities for expansion beyond those indicated in this document. Pieces - SM, UCG and More

. 22 The Idea of Europe The project focuses on two different lines of apporach, working in a complementary fashion. The first line is a documentary one, and it evolves around Steiner’s text. Basically, it reflects on the great issues of the construction of Europe, from a variety of different ap- proaches (Art, Culture, Religion, Politics, Economy). This line also includes educational elements: not only in implicit ways (the project itself, in a sense, works as a teaching tool) but clearly explicit ones too, like in the webseries, the case chapters of which are sorted and grouped by themes that represent the ideas which are scattered along the original speech. The second line is participatory: not merely as an add- tion of materials (User Generated Content), but also as a contribution of viewpoints and opinions on all these big issues. By adding other documentaries that reflect on the idea of Europe (even if they don’t dig as deep as Steiner’s does), this collaborative webdoc will bring a new insight to a debate that is already open and vibrantly alive. Thanks to the technological possibilities that the webdoc offers to the users, we are returning the voice of the people to the people. This double approach widens our target: we can reach a more conventional audience through the book, the stage play, the website and webseries, the feature-lenght documentary and the tv documentary, and we can connect with more active audiences through the SM, the webdoc and the conections people establish with it.
