Vanishing Point explores the tension
between presence and disappearance,
tracing the fleeting nature of human
connection and memory. The work
shifts between intensity and quiet
reflection, creating a landscape where
we edge toward disappearance while
reaching for connection.
Created in the course of the career
promotion program “NEXT STEPS” of
the Migros Cultural Festival Steps,
Vanishing Point will tour throughout
Switzerland in spring 2026 as part of
the Steps Festival.

“Told suggestively in the flow of movement, interaction and emotions, the piece
touches directly, precisely because it refuses to be unambiguous.”
“You can look at these immensely expressive dancers with devotion at every
moment.”
