Open Studio: House of Research
Zeynab Kirikou Gueye & Zuzana Šklíbová
In cooperation with the residency and program venue Studio ALTA three artists based from the Czech Republic are invited for a “House of research” residency in HELLERAU. At the end of their two-weeks long residency, two of the three invited artists will give an insight into the projects and ideas they worked on:
The interdisciplinary artist, DJ and sound designer Zeynab Kirikou Gueye works on the solo performance “Homecoming” that is based on storytelling through speech, movement and a semi-hybrid DJ set. Zeynab Kirikou Gueye shares the nuances of learning about belonging through their embodied experience of returning to Senegal, a place of their ancestry.
The theater maker and dramaturge Zuzana Šklíbová researches on a new project. Two years ago Zuzana Šklíbová started learning sign language, which opened up a complex system of gestural communication and, above all, a fascinating way of inhabiting the world with hands. During the research she works with the choreographic potential of sign language and vibrations, while also connecting deaf and hearing performers and the different ways of perceiving and understanding the world.
