Ghida Hachicho

Ghida has been invited to participate in the PACT Zollverein residency program titled “The Platform” at the Choreographisches Zentrum NRW. The program supports interdisciplinary exchange among artists, academics, and students, fostering critical dialogue and reflection on artistic processes and outcomes, and features a curated program of innovative, high-quality theatrical performances. The residency offers Ghida an opportunity to dedicate time and space to develop a new artistic project, with the possibility of presenting it at a later stage.

The project takes as its starting point the group as it emerges and begins to use forms of authority, order and harmony. In the process, its members negotiate to move in a certain direction, whether by design or spontaneously. To form a group is to attempt to bridge differences and create a single body. It vibrates to a rhythm measured from one body to the next, and in accordance with reciprocal gestures and movements in various directions. Its thrust is the sum total of the differences within the impulse of the single body.
