Crossroads is an intersection of roads, bodies, ideas, minds, languages between Europe and four countries/continents of the world with which we intend to build new paths, to accompany artistic researches, exchange of practices between operators, creation of new choreographic works in a dimension that favours multicultural and human dialogue.

After their artistic residencies in India, Mexico, Senegal and Lebanon, the four dancers of Crossroads met for the first time “live” in Belgium for one more artistic residency, where Stefano Fardelli, creator, as well as pillar, of this large and varied project called Crossroads, worked with them for stitching together their solos into the final piece.
