MEDIATHEK

Veronika Riz is a choreographer and a dancer from South Tyrol. Blessed with a volcanic passion for all artistic expressions especially dance, her work has continually pushed the boundaries of the medium. Veronika Riz has always considered dance as the highest form of corporal expression, considering it both a language and a way of exploring herself and the world she lives in. "It helps me find my balance and serenity and gives me the possibility to get to know more profoundly my inner self". Her work tackles issues linked to everyday life and the area she lives in; they speak of taboos, good manners, integration, ideas of homeland, traditions, contemporary myths and the dialogue between different cultures. The productions depict our society in a clear and concrete way, yet there is always both irony and a sense of humour, qualities which characterize the artist.
