Bridging the Scenes is a network consisting of the ACT Festival (Sofia, Bulgaria), Malá Inventura (Prague, Czech Republic), Selected Works (Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark), and the Performing Arts Festival Berlin. Its focus is on building a sustainable connection between the independent performing arts scenes in the four European capitals. All participating festivals and organizations strengthen the visibility of their local scenes and actively draw attention to the cultural-political dimensions of independent artistic work.

Reciprocal visits by artists and cultural managers from all cities foster cohesion and professional engagement with current aesthetics, social and artistic discourses, and cultural policy. Through regular meetings of the festival leadership, ongoing working discussions on shared concerns, and diverse exchange programs for members of the scenes, individual skills are supported while knowledge exchange between the respective structures is strengthened.
