About
Kitchen # Natal is an initiative in which art and culture are essential in social integration and awareness of each person’s responsibilities as citizens within marginal populations. Culture must not be viewed as a mode of belonging to a community, but as a mode of activity where everyone participates in the creation of a common world.
This exchange program was composed of a two-weeks technical residency, a five-weeks choreographic residency including the creation of a choreographic piece for 3 dancers that was Premiered at Palco GiraDança in Natal in October 2016, then at the Flux Laboratory in Geneva in December 2016.
The project also includes a photographic installation, testimony on the joint artistic project.
