OPEN CALL POUR LA SQUATFABRIK #4 -> DANCE
Open call for dancers, performers, professionals or amateurs, to join for a one hour ceremonial danced celebration with gentle smoke, lights and musique, in the joyful cemetery* for a NEW ERA : Goodbye to Patriarchy, Anthropocene and the Capitalism.
If you like to dance, to improvise, to incarnate themes with your body and your mouvements and to take part in Stefania's Crisan project, you can send an email to marie@kulturfabrik.lu and tell us who you are (name, age, contact details)!
You don't need to have any particular dance skills to participate - amateurs are very welcome. But be aware that you will be filmed (behind the camera: Paula Onet) and that you will dance to the sound created by Victor Mopin.
The performance will take place on the day of the Get-Out, September 20th, from 7 to 8pm. There will be a mandatory rehearsal on the same day from 4pm to 6pm, during which Stefania will explain more about the project and guide you through the performance. You will also be able to dance in the performance space and warm up.
This is not a paid performance, but refreshments will be provided between the warm-up and the performance, as well as drinks afterwards. If you take part in the performance, we will also be offering you a ticket for Brian Ca's dance performance ‘We may need to find each other’, which will take place in Kufa on 22 October.
The project makes reference to the “Cimitirul Vesel” / "The Merry Cemetery" / "Le cimetière joyeux" of Săpânța – found in the land of Maramureș, Romania, close the the Ukrainian border. This cemetery has the particularity of having its tombs decorated with wooden funerary stelae, naïve painted in bright colours, representing a scene from the life of the person buried, an activity or the causes of the death, accompanied by a poem, sometimes nostalgic, often humorous.
The project A joyful cemetery* for a NEW ERA (Goodbye to Patriarchy, Anthropocene and the Capitalism) is developed by the multidisciplinary artist Stefania Crisan as a celebration, during the SQUATFABRIK #4 residency in Esch-sur-Alzette Luxembourg// 26 August to 22 September 2024. The project mutates SQUATFABRIK in a cemetery, a heterotopia (Michel Foucault) a place of an ironic, poetical protest and a vital paradoxical celebration of change and new beginnings.
