Yesterday marked the final day of the CROSSBEATS rehearsals in Amsterdam.
Over the past few days, the artists worked together through rehearsals, exchange and further development of the performance, continuing the co-creation process between Mozambique, Italy and the Netherlands. This process was presented last June at Electropark in Genoa and continued with the residency program in Inhambane and Zavala.
Following the residency, today, September 9, CROSSBEATS will be presented at De Sloot as part of Amsterdam Fringe, at 20:15. Entrance is free and no ticket is required.
CROSSBEATS brings together Mozambican Timbila traditions and rhythms with electronic music, contemporary dance/performance and storytelling through a collaborative process involving multidisciplinary artists.
Before the performance, from 18:00, you are also invited to join a networking dinner at De Sering: an informal gathering bringing together the CROSSBEATS team, partners, cultural professionals, friends and guests.
Artists:
Laura Agnusdei (), Idio Chichava (Idio Chichava), Vincenzo Castellana (Vin AcquAria), Kalekamine (Kale kamine), Roberta Maimone (RobertaMaimone), Venâncio Junior Mbande (Venancio Mbande Junior) and Osvalda Nhacune (Osvalda Nhacune).

Implemented by AGAPE Mozambique (AGAPE Mozambique) and Forevergreen (forevergreenfm), with the support of Fringe Festival (Amsterdam Fringe Festival).
