The 'Diversorium' will continue to dance in Paris this Saturday 7 September

The event, connected to the initiative in Spain promoted by Concomitentes, is organised by the Centre d'art contemporain de la Ferme du Buisson in the French capital.

The first French representation of Diversorium, one of the first Concomitentes projects in Spain, which seeks to create a festive space in which people with and without functional diversity can live, enjoy and dance together, breaking down barriers regarding functional diversity, will take place this Saturday, 7 September, at the Centre d'art contemporain de la Ferme du Buisson in Paris, starting at 20.30hrs.

This cabaret freak and espacio valiente launched in Barcelona in 2019 by activists María Oliver and Antonio Centeno Ortiz in collaboration with the curator Veronica Valentini, will bring together artists involved in struggles antivalidists to create a hybrid party space celebrating friendship, sensuality and togetherness. 

It will feature artists such as Edwin Arsenio Ramírez, Sahara Azzeg, Lucie Camous, Kreature, Sabrina Röthlisberger Belkacem & Vani Adjoubei y William Theviot to present performances combining stand-up, music, dance, performance and drag, or a DJ session by Na Na Ni.

The evening will start at 6.30 p.m. with an introductory public debate where reflections on the accessibility of spaces for art, research and civic practice will be presented, featuring the voices of Lucas Aloyse Fritz, the Crashroom collective (Etienne Chosson and Lari Medawar) and the Diversorium team from Spain.

This project has been accredited by Paris 2024 as part of the Cultural Olympiad. With the support of the Département de la Seine-et-Marne, the Région Île-de-France and the Direction régionale des affaires culturelles d'Île-de-France - Ministère de la Culture, and Onda - Office national de diffusion artistique.
