Project

During the residency, the natural and social context of Olot will be studied in order to understand how one of the works by Italian choreographer Silvia Gribaudi can be reinterpreted in an itinerant dialogue within these spaces and in conversation with local communities in 2027. The aim is to counter the artistic overproduction to which artists are often driven, and instead to explore how the materials of a single work can be adapted to different natural and social contexts, and how innovation can lie in transformation and in the preservation of repertoire through dialogue with territories.
