This temporary community will provide between themselves production knowledge and artistic practices in an intercultural context. During 4 weeks, this group will plan and build a labyrinth at human scale, from euro-pallets. During the construction period, movement practice, performance / improvisation presentation and classes will take place in parallel with a number of events of free participation, seminars and forums, addressed to all interested members of the public.

Opening of the work in progress to the community, inviting them to participate in a workshop where we will discuss ways of interaction and communication between performing arts and architecture.
