Since its creation in 2001, ADN Dialect (DNA in English) is devoted to the creation of artistic events with multiple facets, with an aim of promoting ideals of peace and cultural exchange between different peoples, cultures and styles. Its objective is to explore new forms of expression through interaction between all artistic fields with dance. ADN (evoking the DNA of all life forms) stands for Alternative Dance Nation, while Dialect identifies the constant research for danced performances as an atypical language of exchange beyond words.
The company develops its activities through several axis such as:
- Scenic arts: dance, music, theatre, and performance of various artistic horizons.
- Visual arts: painting, sculpture, photography, design and multi-media installation
- Pedagogical axis: facilitating cultural and social activities through mediation. Workshops, courses, cultural exchanges, dance therapy sessions, conferences, concerts, exhibitions, jams, interactive animations, research laboratories, events.
