Opening

An artist whose love of experimentation – spanning a period of five decades – makes her so unique will be starting the festival. The series of pictures The Shape, The Scent, The Feel of Things by New York performance avant-gardist Joan Jonas opens in the exhibition hall. cie. salia nï seydou , a distinguished company from Burkina Faso that has had a seminal influence on contemporary African dance, will be performing in the large auditorium. At the same time, there will be installations in the Foyer and – to round off the evening – multi-talented performance artist Lilibeth Cuenca will be inviting guests to a party happening.
