​
Homing in on Home
Dance Film (2021)
In a foldable, Escherian looking room, the threads of space tangle with the threads of human life. Linguistic clues and gravitational paradoxes turn into a script for surreal narratives.
​
In-Material

A surreal landscape of (un)familiar objects, aphorisms, movement and interactive tasks, wondering how far imagination can go without denying the concreteness of reality.

Self-portrait in yellow shades

​
On-track

A multilayered performance in a modular space, aiming to question the relationship we have - as individuals, as citizens, as humans - with the space we (de)construct around us.
​
Concrete bones and Metal joints

Looking for a dance

The audience - wearing a headlight each - illuminates and affects the ongoing performance. As light makes objects visible, so the audience's gaze validates the performers' existence.
Lightmotiv
Contemporary Dance Performance (2016)
An exploration of 'light' in its evocative potential. An abstract succession of recurring images, recalling the great variety of luminous sources which illuminate our life, from stars to house-lamps, from neons to fireworks.
