“We may imagine a time when, in the infancy of the human race, some enterprising mortal crept into a hollow in a rock for shelter. Every child begins the world again, to some extent, and loves to stay outdoors, even in wet and cold. It plays house, as well as horse, having an instinct for it. (…) From the cave we have advanced to roofs of palm leaves, of bark and boughs, of linen woven and stretched, of grass and straw, of boards and shingles, of stones and tiles. At last, we know not what it is to live in the open air, and our lives are domestic in more senses than we think”.
Henry David Thoreau – Walden or Life in the Woods
Ramona Poenaru, multimedia artist and performer, and Gaël Chaillat, actor and theatre director, together created Des châteaux en l’air (Castles in the Air) company in order to develop projects that hybridize their different artistic disciplines, and thus may include performances, devices, installations and events. Since 2013, their research is founded on educational, philosophical, scientific, anthropological and architectural exploration. Each proposed project involves, at least at some point in the process, a form of audience or public participation. Des châteaux en l’air define humanity as the main subject of their creations. Their imaginative worlds are inspired by the invention of artistic machines that create links between people. “Cabanes” (Cabins) is a global project by the company that includes several creative forms that all aim to offer the audience new ways of creating dialogue.

In light of its mission to teach Western classical music, the Foundation has created several vocal groups and choirs including among under-privileged children.
Every year it offers scholarships to young Indian talents to enable them to study abroad. All professional artistes invited for operas and concerts are also involved in conducting educational sessions. Young students of the Foundation thus have the opportunity to benefit from their teachings and some are then selected to participate in professional productions as soloists or choir singers.

HH Art Spaces ran as an artist-run residency space established in October 2014 in Siolim, Goa by Romain Loustau, Madhavi Gore and Nikhil Chopra. The program focuses primarily on live art and performance with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary and collaborative work. HH Art Spaces creates a space for reflection, inspiration and creation; where artists come together to make and share their ideas, processes, experiments and collaborative efforts with one another and the community.
They are part of a movement of artists from the big cities to Goa, as an environment that offers space, time, an international community and an increasingly critical audience. Their intention is to run the organisation as shared space for ourselves and for other artists. They believe that residencies are a very important part of the life and work of an artist owing to the time, space, facilities and networks that they provide. They are also deeply invested in creating an archive of live art.
Through the overlapping and interweaving of different practices and disciplines there is an inherent desire to create new languages and ways of making and receiving art. Every residency term ended with an OPEN Studio when the house and gardens transformed into a public exhibition to connect them with the larger community of Goa. HH Art Spaces in the last 4 years, have hosted approximately 50 national and international artists in residence, conducted six onsite and offsite workshops and exhibitions, held 20 OPEN Studios and collaborated with organisations within and outside India, including Catterjee & Lal, KHOJ, Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation (ongoing), Japan Foundation, Alliance Francaise, Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, Serendipity Arts Trust (ongoing), Sunapranta, Goa and GOAPHOTO. HH Art Spaces is quickly emerging as an important venue for the live arts in South Asia. As a collective, they consider themselves and function as artists, mentors, facilitators and curators.
