“If I had to describe what Dance means, I would say it is where I find silence. Not just any silence, but the kind that exists between thoughts, and Dance has the power to extend that space.
Any artistic encounter can be a revealing experience, whether it implodes or explodes within us. It can feel like a slap in the face or be as liberating as breathing. This isn't limited to the relationship between a performance and its audience, but also encompasses the dynamic created between the director and performers during the creative process.I use dance as a tool rather than a goal. Although it's not my intention, dance has a way of shaping my spirituality. I enjoy crafting theatrical discourses sustained by movement—constantly searching for generators of physicality and then applying filters that enhance the content of my work. In dance, I find an ephemeral logic that reveals fragments of truth. Sometimes, these fragments vanish at the end of the performance, but other times, they endure. I’m captivated by the echo of movement, by what lingers long after the final gesture.'“
“In each of my projects, I strive to discover and share a new universe, each with its own unique cosmology. Often, I’m surprised by how clearly one creation emerges as a consequence of the last. I discard ideas easily, but sometimes those discarded thoughts resurface years later, in a different context or framework—returning with more significance than ever. This phenomenon both confuses and fascinates me.”
“Travel soon became an inevitable part of my life. Observing different cultures and human behaviours, as well as contemplating natural landscapes, has always been a profound source of inspiration. I’ve indeed packed and unpacked countless suitcases, but there are also many times when I travel without ever leaving home.”
