Claire Dessimoz (*1988) is committed to a practice of «the small and the subtle». She works with bodies and what they communicate – through their presence on stage or through their words, which she captures and restitutes with precision. Her work deals with community and social issues. How can we live alongside each other and leave space for diversity, mistakes and disagreements?

Never dogmatic, she offers intricate but joyful pieces, shaking up preconceptions and certitudes, and above all, showing things in the full range of their complexity, actively fighting against shortcuts and oversimplification.

She premiered CURRENT CURRENTS, her fourth piece in July 2021 at Arsenic Lausanne (where she was in residency from 2017 to 2020). She is working on her next piece for 2023.
