Description or summary of the proposed project

We aim to develop an inter-institutional residencies program, specifically focused on the Global South (French DOM-TOM, Africa, South America, the Caribbean, etc.). This program would provide artists from these regions with the opportunity to work on projects that address shared issues—such as social, cultural, and environmental challenges—that are common to these different nations. Through collaboration on both international productions and local creations, artists would enrich their work through cross-cultural exchange. Furthermore, this initiative would help break the geographical isolation of these regions and integrate them into a European network, encouraging the development of new works while fostering long-term partnerships and collaborative opportunities.

Partners currently involved in the project

Théâtre de Macouria (French Guiana), IFC (Pointe Noire and Brazzaville), CFRAD (Brazzaville). We are also in talks with theatres in Brazil and RDC.
