PARLIAMENT OF ANGELS

Parliament of Angels, is the brand new initiative of BL!NDMAN that enters into a five-year trajectory with national and international partners, unites artists and students from the University of Canterbury, IRCAM & Lobster Films, Gaudeamus Utrecht & Academy of Theater and Dance Amsterdam. , MATA Festival NY & University of Missouri and the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp & HISK. During residencies and workshops, students, artists, composers, musicians and curators will delve into predetermined themes and techniques. This will yield numerous new compositions over a period of five years and will provide the breeding ground for at least five productions. Each year, one partnership is central and this is represented by a curator who acts as a bridge figure between BL!NDMAN and its own institution.
