From Vision to Reality
summary
An ongoing Opera Village in Burkina Faso completes a school (primary classes running), opens a clinic in early June and records the first child born there; the site already hosts about 20 living models and a festival HQ with a simple central stage. Buildings use local techniques—sun-dried earth‑cement bricks—and local builders are trained to make and maintain them. The program focuses on artist residencies, cultural exchange, community photography and incremental expansion: more houses, a hospital and temporary performance structures are planned.
