S1 E1 launches a series of research-performance labs led by Soa Ratsifandrihana with guests Sékou Séméga, Maria Dogahe, and Lily Brieu Nguyen. Rooted in shared experimentation and local contexts, they explore new ways of creating through choreography, text, performance, and orality. The project proposes a slower, more porous art practice as a space for encounter, transmission, and collective imagination.
