Last stop for "Des vies dansent": Colombia

The Quatre Couleurs association supported the documentary project of the Evi collective, which set out to meet four groups of child dancers from four different continents, all united around the same passion: dance. More than a documentary, "Des vies dansent" is an ode to sharing and mixing cultures.

France ❤️, Colombia 💚, India 💙 and Senegal 💛 were given a thematic colour that can be found in the colours of the documentary. Countries, cultures and elements blend together.

Question "What remains of the Colombian experience?
Nina Barbé: "In Colombia we fall in love while dancing, meeting people is an art of living. We were in the city of Cali with children who were following a sports study program. What really struck us was the link between the classical school program (geography, history, mathematics, literature, etc.) and art which is totally integrated into education. The national conservatory of Colombia was involved in mixing art and education. They were learning their choreography under the trees, outdoors, the connection between the earth and the environment is obvious children were interested in it from an early age. They were extremely alert and aware of their environment, especially on deforestation which is part of their daily life. " 

The Quatre Couleurs Association was happy to support the documentary project of Nina Barbé, Leila Macaire and her team by offering each child a silk stole woven, dyed and embroidered in France in Reims.

To this end, we would like to thank Maison Sublim'Brodeur, which is a company specialized in embroidery, and which provides its customers with dedicated know-how in the field of textile personalization.
