41. : Takora/ E.scena 310 –

In Peru, art is seen as a hobby and not a profession. Malgorzata Haduch was sent abroad as Theatre Ambassador to Tacna, in the south of Peru. She collaborated with Deçiertopicante, a theatre group that wanted to learn about modern dance, performance and its use in public space. Besides, Deçiertopicante also wanted to try to boost the cultural climate in the region, so that art would not be taken for granted. After a long period of research, discovery and mutual inspiration, the project was concluded with a performance. The premiere of this performance took place on September 6th at the Orfeon Theater in Tacna. The theme of the performance was how art is viewed in Peru. In collaboration with choreographer Haduch, Deçiertopicante wanted to show that dance and theatre can be a very intense experience that can make you think, and which you can enjoy to the fullest. From the end of October, a larger project called DESIERTO began. For about three months, the Peruvian artists of Deçiertopicante collaborated with artists from around the world on theatre and visual arts in public spaces to give the city of Tacna a cultural boost.
