Company 22 has been in residence in various locations at Bliiida: the old slaughterhouses, the outdoor courtyard, and The Walking Ghosts hall. We used these spaces depending on the type of performance (stage, off-site, dance, etc.). They are perfect for research and initial creation stages. The variety of venues allows for multidisciplinary projects. We were able to share our ongoing work with the residents, and their diverse perspectives helped enrich our work.
