Exactly 20 years ago, on the border between Germany and the Netherlands, history was written. In a party tent with long tables full of beer and soft drinks, the mayors of the border municipalities signed an exceptional decree of intent: the development of a new village on the border. A village that is not bound to one nationality. With the unification of Europe, a common currency and parliament, there are no obstacles anymore for the border village. A village of possibilities. A statement for European integration and unification. “A borderless village on the border”.

In the documentary performance Europadorp / Europadorf we inquire why this village never was build. Who would have lived there? How would it look like? And is it still possible to build village Europe?
