Improvisational laboratory since 2006, which provides artists with a
unique opportunity for research and experimentation by imposing a
minimum of requirements on them. The invited artists, selected by ways
of competition, spend 2-2.5 months of intense work with their
partner(s) in the subject of their choice.
In the 6th year of the initiative, they invited those artists for the 3
day-long event, who have yet to summarize their work in a final
performance, and who would like to reinterpret and rework their
suggested subjects.
