| Beschreibung | - BIOGRAPHY
Maria Combi, B.1998, Italy. My whole life I’ve been dancing. At first ballet, which accompanied me until I turned 20 and graduated in London. Then I dedicated myself fully to contemporary dance, learning different styles in different countries and shortly freelancing in Belgium and Italy, before landing in Zurich in 2021.
Here I started my Master at ZHdK, where I’ve had the opportunity to explore and find my voice as a choreographer.
DIPLOMA PROJECT
ALI DI CENERE - If you never see me, do I still exist?
I wonder, if she would feel as soft as she looked.
Forbidden Softness… If you touch her, she dies.
It was important to me, as the choreographer, that this piece conveyed a feeling of care and safety on stage, embodied by the performers in their sisterhood. These four creatures explore through metamorphosis, what it means to perceive and to be perceived.
Seeing and being seen.
The scenography, as well as costumes, lights and the music we composed for it, all come together with the dance to create a space, where this elemental journey can occur.
