We make performances inspired by the interweaving of different artforms, with dance at its foundation.
This collective was formed to give free rein to our creativity and not to function under one vision, but to bring visions together.
Dance can be found in anything where there is movement and even in stillness, that's why it is the perfect glue to bring art forms together and create new performative languages.
Compagnie Pilolabo is platform were every artist can express themselves fully, both on stage and behind the scènes. We want to realize new projects in which art forms come together, communicate with or without words, feel fully appreciated, and cooperate with the same goal in their own way.
Being open and trying things out are central in our practice. It brings a vulnerability and playfulness with it, which is so important in life!
