Watch & Talk , an artistic residency at the festival
The Watch & Talk residency aims to create the conditions for genuine stimulation. Young artists are invited to immerse themselves in all the works presented at the festival, to have a dynamic period of research, enriched by exchanges and with no production constraints. Accompanied for eleven days by a specialist in the performing arts, the participants engage in constructive criticism, discussing and developing ideas that resonate with the programme.
Watch & Talk is being developed in collaboration with the following four Swiss festivals: La Bâtie-Festival in Geneva, Belluard Bollwerk in Fribourg, Theaterfestival Basel and Zürcher Theater Spektakel. Watch & Talk is supported by Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council.
