Koreie

Counteracting gender violence begins with the promotion of networking on two levels: direct, through the manning of anti-violence offices, and indirect, through promotional and sensitization activities on the theme of violence and equal opportunity in the territory in collaboration with schools, universities and institutions, via frequent and constant efforts at reflection and debate with the national associations present in the territory and sensitive to the theme of gender and violence.

The Le Kassandre association undertakes noteworthy projects of cultural and social impact aimed at creating a workshop that is social, intercultural and of service to women, particularly in the east of Naples, where collective expression and creativity become an integral part of counteracting and escaping gender violence against women, and acts as the next step to individual and group psychological support.

The Koreie project involves 2 continuous workshops in song and theater-dance (lasting 6 months, 72 hours each) and 4 thematic workshops lasting 9 hours each in traditional Sri Lankan and Italian dance, traditional Belarussian songs and theater.

The workshops deal with the development of female themes inspired by Neapolitan and foreign fairy tales, dance and songs from different traditions. In fact, fairy tales enable the identification of common transcultural motifs that provide a sense of community, identification and togetherness on a psychological, social and collective level.

At the end, a choral work is produced that transforms personal experiences through the language of theater-dance and song to share one’s stories and personal message of resistance and freedom, creating a performance that enters into dialogue with the city.
