Since 2019, Onda has been offering financial support for the touring of international artists in France, in order to encourage cooperation between French programmers with the aim of increasing the visibility of international projects, to extend the lifespans of productions and to offer audiences the vitality of an aesthetic diversity open to the world.
These unique proposals are selected following a call for proposals to Onda's partners (venues and festivals) and are presented at the CooProg workshops. Organized by Onda, these workshops enable French-based programmers to share information about these international projects, with a view to involving other partners in the tour.
The international projects selected all benefit from automatic financial support for touring costs in France over two seasons. Support for French subtitling (or translation) may also be granted.
Nearly 25 projects are currently supported. A eighth CooProg workshop took place online on November 18th, 2024. 7 new projects from Mexico, Ukraine, Burundi, Rwanda, Jordan, the United Kingdom and Brazil, proposed by our partners and which will tour in France, were selected and will be supported during the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 seasons:
- Centroamerica, Lagartijas Tiradas Al Sol (Mexico)
- Giraffe Mons, Kharkiv V. A. Afanasyev State Academic Puppet Theater (Ukraine)
