The Villa Decius Institute for Culture and the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation, in cooperation with the Literarisches Colloquium Berlin and the J. Slowacki Theatre in Krakow, invite Polish and German scriptwriters and playwrights to apply for a one-month scholarships at Villa Decius in Krakow in one of three dates: September, October or November 2023.

The scholarship includes a one-month stay in the Renaissance palace in Krakow - at Villa Decius Guest House (single room with bathroom), a stipend of PLN 3,250 gross and assistance in organising the stay and establishing professional contacts. We also hope that the stay at Villa Decius, which currently hosts artists as part of six scholarship programmes, will enable valuable international contacts to be made, and that the company of artists from all over the world will serve as inspiration and create opportunities for creative exchange and cooperation.

As a summary of the project, excerpts from the texts created during the scholarship stay at Villa Decius will be presented at the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre in Krakow in December 2023 in the form of a marathon of mini-performances, prepared by theatre artists and AST Krakow students.
