The company statement:
"We believe in the hybridization of languages. We work with the body, voice, music and images. We often combine all these things together. We are for indefiniteness, the possibility of being open, osmotic.

We believe in research, in the work of study, of deepening. We try to free ourselves from what we already know and approach the work with naivety, convinced that within us lie more possibilities than those we already know. We are for complexity, for diversity.

We believe in collaboration, in looking elsewhere, in other men and women, for what does not yet belong to us. We believe in sharing knowledge so as not to pretend to be what we are not (yet). We favour exchange between generations, cultures, disciplines, visions and languages. We are for a community that creates. We are a community of thought and creative acts.

We believe in interdependence, we act according to collective responsibility. We are for ethics in art. To be in the problem.

We believe it is difficult to summarise: each of us has a story, skills, and desires, and we want to put them at the center of our exchange, accepting the continuous transformation that our con-doing operates in us.

We believe in multiple and infinite possibilities.

We are an open discourse on what identity is."
