ART
MANIFEST

Over the past years BILOURA developed its own artistic research and creation method. Focusing on exploration, Cross Culture Performing Arts is movement through arts and cultures. It causes ripples that expand into the surrounding landscape, in which it has its source. It is a movement of crossing and transcending at the same time. It involves both knowing something and leaving something behind, continuously. Styles, genres, forms, identities, theories.

Cross Culture Performing Arts is based on a simple affirmation: that humanity is one. The encounter with another person, beyond the barriers that separate us, beyond the fragmentations we experience, is worth seeking in order to encounter ourselves. BILOURA developed this method in the belief that the great wealth of variety of cultures and subcultures sustains, nurtures and revitalises art.

Cross Culture Performing Arts is an artistic and political action for a global society less dominated by fear and homologation. Turning around contemporary socio-political issues, it aims to build bridges where there are non. In an era where walls are built and fear and hatred is spread, where people often live as alienated individuals, encounters through cultural expressions are more important than ever.
