ÇA – i !
Dance, Rhythm & Heritage

ÇA-i ! means « come » in Gascon.

A rhythmic and dance creation celebrating the work of volunteers from the Adichats association who are renovating the heritage of the Châteaux de La Trave in Préchac and Budos.

Inspired by the daily lives of the volunteers on the work sites, their movements and rhythms, the artists involved have worked with the site volunteers to stage their work. The result is a new way of looking at the site, with an artistic eye that underlines the history, fragility and special character of the heritage site preserved by these volunteer work camps.

On 20 July 2023, at La Trave (33730 Préchac, France), the first part of an artistic project was staged, with the aim of developing it over several seasons.
The project is led by the Souffle de Danse company, in partnership with the Adichats association of the Rempart network, and supported by the Gironde department and Jeunesses Musicales de France.

Artistic direction and dance: Jyotsna Liyanaratne
Body and object percussion: Frederic Dongey (Cie Les Rythmopathes)
