Chiara Ajkun – Drama

Reshaping the idea of theatrical, Chiara Ajkun’s original art challenges conventional notions of dance and adds movie flavor to her creations. Her visually stunning shows portray real feelings and fragility of humans, and at times, touch intimate issues in the actuality of contents.

Chiara Ajkun – Dance

The rich physicality of Chiara Ajkun choreography underlines fascinating characters and triggers the emotional and intellectual responses that art can evoke: reflections on personal experiences and broaden social contexts. Minimalistic décor leaves dance at the center of the stage.
