Every season, Teatre Lliure organises a creative exchange residency with a different international cultural institution linked to a different city. This year the collaboration is with CAMPO in Ghent, an arts centre with a diverse programme ranging from theatre, dance and performance to festivals, neighbourhood kitchens and debates.
Through an open call for applications, open to people living in Catalonia or the rest of Spain who are linked in some way to the performing arts, the two teams will select two artists with research projects in tangential areas of the performing arts that can be nourished by the interaction between the two cities. It is valued that the projects raise cultural, academic and social aspects that can generate activities in these three axes, in relation to the work to be carried out. The two artists spend a month in residence hosted by the other team, and at the end of the two stays there is an open session on the process at the Lliure.
The Resident artists in exchange of this season are Nico Jongen with the project Cantus Gestualis#2: Behind the scenes and Lisa Vereertbrugghen with an investigation still untitled.
