This beautiful village in the heart of the Metn mountains celebrates kite flying. During one day, villagers of all ages gather in the windiest spot, after a week of construction, to boast their kite-making skills and playfully compete for the highest flying kite. Eid el Tayaran, as it is called, creates an atmosphere of fun and spontaneity among all the participants. In this ambiance, you shall move! Liberating yourself of everyday tensions and rediscovering the innocent and simple pleasure of moving in your body. <\/p>\n
On Sunday August 31, we invite you to enjoy a day of movement and tradition, as you discover this village and relive your childhood memories. Corinne Skaff will propose a movement session based on contemporary dance principles to reconnect you with your body, find fluidity in your joints and freedom in your movement. Come together with others to engage in a different kind of dynamic and collaborative group work, learning to make creative use of your body in space. <\/p>\n
Move and fly with us in Mhaidthe, experience a sense of joy that only the body knows. <\/p>\n
