choreographer dancer
“What I am looking for is the truth. In relationships, in feelings, in gestures, in silences, in looks. I am interested in bringing life onto the stage, aiming for the essence, by penetrating secrets and intimacy, revealing fears and uncertainties. I see the body as an artistic and a linguistic project, without barriers between different ways and means of communication to create a medium of universal feelings”.
