Overseas Culture Interchange in partnership with the Embassy of Switzerland in Lebanon designed an artistic project with few cultural partners - such as Zico House, Mansion and Station Beirut Art Center - in order to encourager everyone's access to and participation in cultural life, without exception.

Kitchen # Beirut is an exchange project composed by a one month residency at Zico House (Beirut, Lebanon) including the creation of a choreographic piece - We met to discuss the value of birds - and a mediation project - B-Cut - composed by collected dances from the residents of the neighborhood in Hamra (Beirut).

The 3 night events were completed by One One One, a choreographic piece by Ioannis Mandafounis and Emilia Giudicelli
