Description	BIOGRAPHY From the age of 10 to 15, I was a gymnast, my days filled with the sound of footsteps on the mat and the tense silence of competitions. At 15, dance entered my life, a revelation that changed my path. Joining the conservatory in Issy-les-Moulineaux (France), I dedicated myself to this art while pursuing scientific studies in high school. At 18, I was fortunate enough to join the ZHdK for a Bachelor's degree in contemporary dance, allowing me to delve deeper into my passion. Today, in my final year of the Bachelor's program, I remain an eternal student, learning and growing every day. DIPLOMA PROJECT «VIVA LA VIDA!» «VIVA LA VIDA!» is a stirring contemporary dance tribute to Frida Kahlo. It vividly weaves her life's themes of pain, resilience, and love into choreography, supported by emotive music and silence. The performance is a collective creation, encapsulating Kahlo's artistic vision through every element, from costumes to lighting. It offers a unique perspective into her life beyond her paintings and writings, resonating universally with audiences.
