SPECIAL PROJECTS:
In 2010 I have been involved with the Association Museke and went to Puerto Barrios in Guatemala to work with Garinagu young people, an ethnic group descending from the African slaves.
The work consisted in a 3 week theatrical laboratory where we explored the history of their people and we tried to put it on stage,
This experience was the first phase of a more articulated project aiming to create a theatre production to tour Gautemala. The production would be entirely made by them. A dedicated team of professionals would train them and give them the instruments and skills to take the show on tour.
