Since my arrival in Tunis, the support of the Art Veda association in connection with my artistic residency in Artists at Risk has been of extreme care and respect for my culture and my way of life as an artist. They worked hard to give me a basis to be at peace and save, so that I could freely develop my research for my new book. They made it possible for me to visit an independent arts festival held in Semamma, where I was able to get in touch with a powerful fraction of Berber musicality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They expanded the networks so I could develop some classes to\u00a0\u00a0share my knowledge in Capoeira Angola in the cultural place Cinema MAD\u2019Art. They also\u00a0\u00a0led me to a contract of employment at the National Theater of Tunisia in Tunis, where I had the opportunity to work with director Fadhel Jaibi in preparing the actors\u2019 bodies for the show Le Martyr, and teach \u201cbody consciousness\u201d to the other students of the actors\u2019 training course<\/p>\n\n\n\n
