Homi K. Bhabha, an Indo-English theorist and scholar, developed the concept of the ‘Third Space’ to describe hybrid identities and cultures formed from the interweaving of various elements from different cultures. Bhabha describes it as a space that lies between spaces, in the interstices of cultures that collide and give rise to something new, an unexplored zone. This zone belongs to neither a colonising culture nor a colonised culture. According to Bhabha, it is this ‘Third Space’ that offers a departure point for post-colonial strategies, wherein new symbols and meanings are produced. We tried to create and inhabit this ‘Third Space', generating encounters between different cultures that didn't overlap but that dialogued, uniting elements from each to create dances, texts, songs, etc., which in themselves formed a new micro-culture born of this encounter. Combining contemporary movements with Indian mudras, for example, in the ‘Meditation dance’ in the first performance, provoked an identification on the part of the participants (Asians and Europeans) who recognised elements of their cultures and found meaning in a new dance that didn't belong to just one place. We began by getting to know the songs, dances and stories of the cultures involved in the project, choosing elements from each one and mixing them as ingredients for new songs, new dances and new stories. Beware: sometimes we ran into sensitive situations and the risk of offending participants when we didn't totally grasp the meaning of cultural elements we had used. In the BOWING BACK performance, Sikh men put on turbans inside a Catholic church. In the car park, Punjabi dancers danced bhangra to the sound of the band Chão Maior with experimental music and free jazz accompanied by Inderjeet's tablas. At the top of a well, in the first show, Inês performed a dance she had created from the combination of contemporary dance movements and dances from India and Nepal. What was born from this project was, in fact, the BOWING culture, which is very much its own and at the same time has a fluid, ever-changing identity. For those who watch and recognise elements of their culture there is a strangeness and, at the same time, a familiarity: to inhabit a beautiful paradox.
