The informal showing concludes a five weeks long residency dedicated to the creation of Nowhere Like Here, by Francesco Scavetta (IT/NO/SE), a collaborative performance created as part of the Creative Europe project Beyond Front@: Bridging Periphery. The collaboration led by Central Europe Dance Theatre – CEDT (Hungary), involves as partners: Bunker (Slovenia), HIPP (Croatia), Krakow Dance Theatre (Poland), M Studio (Romania) and Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts (Sweden). The aim of the project is to foster local development of the contemporary dance fields.
This production involves dancers from project’s partner countries (6) selected through a series of auditions, held during Autumn 2024 in Poland, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Slovenia. The performance is based on Home Movie, a performance by Wee/Francesco Scavetta from 2022 that explores our emotional relationship to the concept of ‘home’, and the feeling of everyday experiences through a person’s life.
Nowhere Like Here
Selected from more than 200 applicants, the six chosen dancers bring Francesco Scavetta’s artistic vision to life.
On Saturday, 14 June, there will be an informal showing at Vitlycke-CPA — an opportunity to catch a glimpse into the creative process behind this unique dance performance. The premiere is schedule within the HERE:2025. International Performing Arts Festival.
