​
Steeped in influences by artists of the 20th century, Chiara’s artistic vision was shaped by the classics and has evolved into contemporary ballets because of her inborn desire to experiment and innovate. She writes the stories to create passionate ballets inspired by historical facts, legends, unique music and close relationships with the dancers.

Chiara Ajkun – Drama

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.
