MIMOS – Swiss Performing Arts Yearbook 2023

The new MIMOS – Swiss Performing Arts Yearbook volume on Cindy Van Acker, winner of the Swiss Grand Award for the Performing Arts / Hans Reinhart Ring 2023, will be presented at the ADC pavilion in Geneva on 2 May as part of Das Tanzfest.

A multilingual publication is produced in conjunction with the Swiss Association for Theatre Studies (SGTK) every year for Switzerland’s highest honour in the field of performing arts. The latest volume of the MIMOS – Swiss Performing Arts Yearbook is devoted to the dancer and choreographer Cindy Van Acker. It was designed by Studio Adeline Mollard and edited by Paola Gilardi, Cécile Della Torre and Anne Fournier. The book includes a conversation between Cindy Van Acker and her long-time friend and dramaturge Michèle Pralong about her career, analyses of the scores of her dance works, discussions on music, lighting and scenography in her work and an interview with Romeo Castellucci, with whom Van Acker has worked on theatrical and opera productions for many years. The recollections of her dancers and a letter from her daughter Elia Van Acker round out a comprehensive insight into Cindy Van Acker’s life and work.
The book will be available for a discounted price of CHF 25 at the launch.
