CommonLAB 2025: Meet the artists
Out of 281 applications sent from all over Europe, 8 artists were finally selected, instead of the 7 announced; the choice was so difficult, we decided to find extra place! They come from France, Portugal, Sweden and, for the first time, Germany, as well as Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Uruguay, Brazil, Iran, Chile, Egypt and Venezuela. They write, perform, dance and above all tell their own stories. Stories about utopia, hair, family, grief, determination, melodrama and resistance, while questioning and reinventing contexts and worlds.
They are: Bruno Brandolino (choreographer and performer), Eslam Elnebishy (choreographer and dancer), Maria Mercedes Flores Mujica (dance artist), Keli Freitas (director, writer and actress), Shirley Harthey Ubilla (choreographer and performer), Sepideh Khodarahmi (choreographer and dancer), Emmanuel Ndefo (choreographer and researcher), Massandje Sanogo (director, actress and video artist).
CommonLAB 2025 will kick off on 5 May in Lisbon, then travel between Cologne, Cairo and Bobigny.
Project co-financed by the European Union under the Creative Europe programme
