Willany Leó - festival about improvisation

#improfest #artisfree #cantstopwontstop
From 31 January to 2 February 2025, the 2nd Willany Leó - festival about improvisation takes place - this time in co-production with the Trafó House of Contemporary Arts.

Space and composition, harmony and dissonance, presence - these are some of the theatrical archetypes that become a part of our daily lives if we are able to recognize them in our routines. Improvisation, whether in dance, instrumental or theatre performance, poses challenges to the creator(s) who spontaneously respond as part of a collective creativity, resulting in an unknown optional outcome. Our aim with this series of programmes is to convey the concept of improvisation and to help the general public understand it. Connecting, spending time together, learning from each other, listening to each other - all at once in these three days together.
