Partecipative Performance - Val di Chy (IT)
A fix appointment of POLIMORFA festival, REVOLUTION is a collective creation which brings together international artists and inhabitants of
Valchiusella. This year it returns stronger than ever on the occasion of Liberation Day in Italy and BILOURA's 10th birthday. RIVOLUTION will be a reflection on the cultural capacity for change
in its most radical and courageous forms. An action of deconstruction and reconstruction stretched between individuality and collectivity, a drive that often stems from violent situations,
sufferance and injustice, but also is nurtured by hope, imaginative power and commitment. A performance made by many in order to remember revolutionary values and project them into the
future.

ODI WORKSHOP
March 2023 Val di Chy (IT)
In collaboration with the Mary Poppins cooperative, BILOURA Collective conducts a creative journey with a group of migrants living in Val di Chy. The workshop ODI has already seen several editions in Italy, France and Austria and wants to be a tool for the contemporary era of the multiethnic and
globalised West, which struggles with intercultural misunderstandings and intolerances. BILOURA firmly believes that when one is willing to shift focus in order to encounter the other, one
discovers the amount of values that unite people instead of dividing them. ODI workshop aims to build bridges between frontiers, cultures and thoughts in order to overcome the “fear of the
unknown” in favour of a peaceful multiethnic society.
