After a first visit to get to know the partners better and to make good agreements, the first Field Exploration to Cuba is on the agenda for December with the entire team for the project "Rumba Intercontinental"!
La Rumba Intercontinental is an international project that departs from the cultural phenomenon of Rumba, an expressive and deeply rooted art form that interweaves music, dance, and community. Through a series of field studies on three continents, participatory presentations, and a travelling exhibition, the project aims to honour this tradition, connect diverse communities and organisations, and thus inspire more inclusive and participatory cultural practices.
Following Cuba, a visit to the other Rumba communities in Congo will follow in January and in Catalonia in May 2026.
This project is possible with the support of Creative Europe, where Madam Fortuna enters into a partnership with KVS – Royal Flemish Theatre (BE), Carabutsi (CAT), World Harmonies (FR), INA – Institut National des Arts (CON), ICM – Instituto Nacional de la Música (CUB).
