CAHIN CAHA establishes a nomadic framework for research, space for developing new languages for contemporary circus - the freshest of contemporary arts. This project of european dimension starts with partners as Finland, Sweden and the Czech Republic to be developed with others regions and specially with the Mediterranean basin.
The project is constructed on 3 objectives :
Fluidification of the transmission of knowledge
Collaborations structured between confirmed and emerging artists in 3 European regions ; collaboration between artists and operators and between the academic and artistic milieu. A web of exchange of thought, practice, place of creation, transmission and distribution of circus, throughout the Euro-Mediterranean area and even beyond...
Confluence of artistic creations
A creation in each region to tour in its regional and national networks. The establishment of a triptych, the result of the three creations for a European tour built with our reference operators. We count primarily on their presentation at the events of each partner city. Presentation to the circus networks in particular throughout the Mediterranean area, allows sustainable opportunities for regional partners and the opening of north / east networks to the south.
Shifting of citizens’ imagination
A series of participatory laboratories open to the public, to link artistic research with civic action.
An area of possible errancy
Research leads to the consideration / reflection upon the role of the artist in society and the place of a social being in the natural world. This is a “field of practice and exploration of interdisciplinary staging opportunities ... an apparatus of exchange and of fragile ephemeral confrontation, a utopian space for the conservation of the work of Art in its original powers."
The state of artistic research at the European level : on the one hand, the role of research as a component of a creative process appears regularly as a theme in seminars and conferences.2 On the other hand, new legislation aims to standardize artistic vocational training qualifications across Europe.3
