The Union of the Theatres of Europe (UTE; (フランス語:Union des Théâtres de l'Europe)) is an alliance of European public theatres. It serves to promote European integration through cultural interaction. It is an association that does intensive transnational theatre work with more than 10.000 performances and 3.000.000 spectators per season; offering festivals, exhibitions, workshops, collaborations with drama schools, colloquiums and co-productions throughout Europe. All these activities have united the 34 members (currently composed of 16 European countries, Israel and Russia) of the Union des Théâtres de l'Europe since its foundation in 1990. == History == The UTE was founded in 1990 by Jack Lang, then Culture Minister of France, and Italian theater director Giorgio Strehler. Apart from fostering European integration, their motivation also was the perceived threat to European cultural diversity posed by globalisation: :"Already then we felt that the building of Europe required a firm stand against the unruly vagaries of the economic machine. Today we find ourselves faced with the same questions: how do we defend art within a market economy whose logistics are designed to standardise our way of life and thought so that we are reduced to a state of passive consumerism? Can public policies that support the arts be more effective?" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Union of the Theatres of Europe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
