In many places in India people use the street as their kitchen, their living room, a place to sleep and rest. Taking care of a space, filling it with stories and relationships, appropriating sites that initially seem hostile and transforming them into welcoming environments… all these impact on the quality of experiences that happen there. Throughout this project we built living rooms in the middle of the street and in parking lots, classrooms in forests, a shelter on the beach and rehearsal spaces with materials at hand. We transformed an abandoned student residence into a warm performing space occupied by all the participants during rehearsals. We usually begin by cleaning the space we’re going to use. We bring furniture - rugs, tables, lamps, chairs, books, clothes. Sometimes we use or transform what we find in the place itself: a ping-pong table becomes our meeting table; rugs mark places for conversations, body warm-up, resting and eating. We bring food and drink to these places and spend time in them and, over time, they are transformed into our common home. We bring comfort into the spaces and what seems an effort and great investment at the beginning later bears fruit in every moment of their use. People observing from the outside are attracted, invited in. Those who enter don’t want to leave. This aspect was particularly important because of the discomfort many migrants experience inside their own homes. A space can also become too comfortable and facilitate an environment that - if left unchecked - creates distraction during activities. Someone answers a cell phone during a rehearsal or abandons the dances halfway through. When the house is installed in the street, it’s possible for it to generate discomfort in those who observe and those who are observed, and it may feel as an invasion of public space. This can be good as a political statement but can also generate conflict and embarrassment if this balance is fragile. Every space encompasses thousands of different places and is transformed by the people who inhabit it. By providing comfortable conditions, it’s easier for others to open up to whatever is happening: sharing stories, participating in dance sequences, a spontaneous song. When we take care of spaces and fill them with life, a home is born - a place to be and live together.
