Wall Dialogue Resistance | Call to action
What’s beyond the wall? It’s the question that accompanied us during each stage of a month-and-a-half-long journey by train across Mediterranean Europe to the west, which we started on 21st August 2022 and from which we recently returned. It has been an intense journey that brought us together with so many beautiful people and many stories and that we would like to continue with you.
This newsletter is an invitation to participate, to send us your words and images around the wall. As a limit that divides space and interrupts our daily routine: a way to talk about all of us, about the isolation in which we live, about the possibilities of imagining and acting a future in such a complex and challenging time. Transforming the inability and impossibility to see and move as an opportunity to stop, slow down, reflect, return to sensitivity, contact, imagination, open communication…
What’s beyond the wall? What images, emotions, words do you find beyond it?

WALL DIALOGUE RESISTANCE journey
On 30 September, the biggest WALL DIALOGUE RESISTANCE Creative Europe CREA-CULT-2021-COOP No. 101055870 journey came to an end. A crazy journey, five European stops in six weeks: Vermenagna Valley, Marseille, Noviercas e Zaragoza, Porto and at the end Cagliari.

We met people, discovered places, tasted territories and cultures, played, laughed, experimented and reflected around the concept of the WALL, and then, in a few days of residence, at each stage built and staged a performance.
Sharing this experience with so many people is what made the project fully participatory and for this a special thank you goes to all those who took part and shared this experience with us.

WALL DIALOGUE RESISTANCE Artistic residency
at Centro Cultural Malaposta Lisbon

Wall Dialogue Resistance is a project that is expanding and that makes us discover how much being going deep into a research brings out unexpected and unthought of nuances. Wall Dialogue Resistance from 2019 until today has become multifaceted and vital, so much that finding ourselves at the Malaposta Cultural Centre in two is like a return to the origins, to the first residency in Faro where the idea was explored for the first time.

Wall Dialogue Resistance: a Creative Europe project
Good news!
The project Wall Dialogue Resistance in its European and itinerant version has been selected by the European Creative Europe programme.
After its birth in Faro and its development in Bologna, Rome, Cagliari and Livorno is for us an important achievement, beautiful and frightening at the same time, but we are very happy and would now like to present the project in its entirety, made possible thanks to the teamwork of many people!
WALL DIALOGUE RESISTANCE
co-funded by CREA-CULT-2021-COOP n. 101055870
Each residence will end with a PERFORMANCE as a collective emotional experience of a common space.
The project focuses on the open process, emphasizing the work of questioning and research, on the eco-sustainability and the human impact that will resonate with the people of the four Mediterranean countries involved: Italy, France, Spain and Portugal.
THE IDEA
The research, aware about the complex times we are all living, chooses to explore the concept of the WALL as a physical and symbolic guide for a creative process considering the meanings of the words dialogue and resistance from the following perspective:
Wall as a symbol of the spatial and emotional distances existing in human relationships, considering limit related to opportunity
Dialogue as involvement of bodies and voices in relation to the question:what’s beyond the wall?
Resistance as ability to look beyond, to reinforce the tool of imagination, to see a common space that can emerge in all its necessity
The wall relates us to the concepts and questions around balance, freedom and boundaries, offering a practical experience about how verticality can dialogue with the horizontal plan, and how the individual is placed in a space where everyone is connected. The wall with its qualities becomes the tool to explore the resonance, the limit and the quality of the resistance in terms of movement and sound / rhythm recognizing the pivotal role of the body as tool for dialogue and partecipation.
