Moving Visegrad Contemporary Dance Choreographic Residency

Performance

November 18, 2017 / 16:00

“Moving Visegrad” contemporary dance choreographic residency is part of the 3rd Visegrad- Turkish Culture Festival that aims to promote the culture of the Visegrad region, including Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.

Although the four Visegrad countries carry their own national and cultural uniqueness, the geographical proximity has created a common identity that they all share. The project offers a possibility to present these features in Turkey where the eastern part of Europe receives very little notice. At the same time, it gives an opportunity for Turkey to achieve more visibility in contemporary arts, almost unknown to the culture makers in Europe.

Throughout the two-week contemporary dance choreographic, the group of five dancers will work with the choreographer Evrim Akyay and on November 18, they will perform  on the “Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters” exhibition floor.

Free of admissions. This event will take place in the “Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters” exhibition gallery.

It is understood from Evliya Çelebi’s well-known Book of Travels that the history of sea baths goes as far back as the 17th century; their acceptance and popularization take place in mid-19th century as a result of Westernization, among other things.

The shrines that created the glory of Constantinople through their lavish beauty were also repositories of precious relics and thus sources of healing.
