The workshop
will develop a multidisciplinary art project, which started in 2013 in Budapest, led by Giuseppe L. Bonifati/DOO. It is open to a limited number of participants, performers, dancers, musicians, video makers, photographers, who are interested in meeting Divano Occidentale Orientale. In particular the workshop welcomes applications from Denmark and Nordic countries.

How to integrate visual arts and theatre? In an era when all search is forcibly lonely, is it possible to build beyond our beloved and hated individualisms? Individual creation is a discovery, an immersion; creation in a group is expansion, an opening - can the two dimensions coexist?And can the coexistence of the two fundamental dimensions of a human being (the vertical and the horizontal) be communicated through a stage art which is of choice raw and essential? -  These are the main questions we ask ourselves and we want to investigate in our artistic research.

Following are some other topics with which we would like to start the process:

"It is said that each person carries his or her own cross,
but each person is also equipped with his or her own sword.
How many swords do we need every day to distinguish between good and evil,
hatred and love, or to get rid of what we don't want to see anymore?
The sword alone is worth more than anything else,
more than the fear itself, more than the Judgement…

if I gave you a sword, what would you cut in two?"

For 10 participants
 
Language: The workshop will be conducted in English. Giuseppe L. Bonifati and Alberto M. Guinaldo can communicate with the participants in Italian, Spanish and French.
