Duration: up to 2 weeks
Location: space with a kitchen (electricity, water) and a daily accessibility to the open public
Format: an associative café

 

Tchakili is an itinerant, musical and social space, of comfort and encounters.

This sound installation takes the form of a café that travels from town to town and where temporality takes on another form, the one of a break.

Different objects - books, projections, games -  allow it to become temporarily home. 

In the space there is constant contemplative music being played.

There is something to eat and drink, often hot, soft and sweet, never served without a poem.

The members of the team are artists and artisans who offer workshops, exhibitions, performances and concerts.

Tchakili is open to outside artistic proposals.

It is a place where we want and hope to connect people and the things we love.

​

In this project, our practices lead us towards reflections around a broader time. We want our ephemeral creation to infuse everyone with an emotional, sweet and sincere material that asks to live.

​

We install this space in a place for a given period: 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks,...

We bring a ceramic service that we made for the project, our coffee machine and our instruments.

We create a sober scenographic space, a place out of time where everyone can rest from the outside world, create their own bubble in a calm common space.

The different members of the group occupy versatile roles: music, massage, scenography, service, baking, crafts. 

The sound dimension is an essential element of the project. Our music oscillates between contemporary ambient with loops and synthesizers, music of traditional inspiration: fado, wind (trombone and clarinet), strings (dulcimer and gembri), Indian classical music (dhrupad) and poetry.
