Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts and Beyond Front@: Bridging Periphery are inviting
dancers from Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland and Romania, to join a new
contemporary dance performance created by choreographer Francesco Scavetta (IT/SE).
Vitlycke-CPA is looking for contemporary dancers, with strong improvisation and
performative skills, interested in working in the project. Auditions are for artists based in
project partner countries: Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland and Romania. One artist
from each partner country will be invited to join the production.
The production will explore our emotional relationship to the concept of ‘home’ as a
metaphor for identity and as a microcosm of the world, where constantly thresholds are
traced, and boundaries broken. The place where to welcome and where to close the
door and be by ourselves, where to rediscover daily rituals, embodying a physical
cartography that keeps transforming in front of our eyes: the sense of ‘everyday’,
experienced during a lifetime.
The project is a continuation of the creative process started with the piece Home Movie
created by WEE/Francesco Scavetta in 2022 (more information HOME MOVIE).
