FESTIVAL
ALIVE
In the busiest streets of the world's main cities, many artists use their bodies as a support for expression, remaining motionless for long periods of time; It is a phenomenon that has caused a furor in recent years and has come to be called "living statues" or "human monuments".
In the Dominican Republic this arte is increasingly visible and in demand, thanks to the multiplicity that the implementation of this project has generated.
FESTEVIVAS is a self-managed and itinerant public art project thatintegrates two components:
-
TRAINING:WORKSHOP “INTELLIGENT BODY DILATION”
-
RECREATIONAL-CULTURAL ACTIVITY:“INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF LIVING STATUES”
It has the firm intention of positively influencing the use of the public spaces, as well as providing a tool to improve the quality of life of its performers.
