English:Corban (Q163729)

Corban was initially set up in 1994 to produce and promote the hybrid artistic work of Walter Verdin. Because the creations of Corban shifted from individual productions to collaborative projects with artists from different disciplines and backgrounds, the organization became involved in very different artistic and cultural landscapes in North and South, combining art & pop, music & video, dance & video, on screen & on stage...

Since 2005, with the presentation in Mozambique of the concert XTimbila Tracks, a video concert with music of Matchume Zango, based on the traditional Chopi culture (Unesco's List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage) and the video & dance workshop project Game Request on interactivity, initiated by Panaibra Canda (CulturArte, Mozambique). The project will tour as a workshop for local dancers in Southern Africa during the next years.

In 2011 Corban initiates TRANCEMEDIAMIX, a interdisciplinary and intercultural collaborative project wherein 4 artists from different disciplines and cultures work during 4 weeks on a common project without being pressurised to present a final product. The merging of different media into a new kind of multidisciplinary artistic activity is the central principle of this project.
