SPANISH MATCHBOX
PERIPHERAL ENCOUNTERS: BODY, IMAGE, WORD.
Contemporary Spanish Culture Week in Stamsund - Norway 2016.
Spanish Matchbox is an event devoted to contemporary Spanish culture in Stamsund (Noruega). It brings together the ways of thinking and aesthetic, political, performative and cultural dynamics of southern and northern Europe in a peripheral setting characterised by its brilliant light in order to contrast, rethink and broaden the repertoire of own and common references, starting from practice through a series of meetings and presentations based on body, image and words.
It is no coincidence that Spanish Matchbox is being hosted by a space for creation promoted by Andreas Eilertsen and Cristina Granados: E&G Teater, a peripheral venue (Stamsund, Lofoten Islands, Norway) and a summer context where festivals (music, dance, theatre…) are part of the landscape, making it very well suited to hosting a project of these characteristics. Spanish Matchbox will mark the start of E&G’s 2016 summer programme.
