Aïda Gabriëls

Short Bio

Soldering together contemporary and classical music, visual arts, movement, literature, and fashion, Aïda Gabriëls navigates her way through the performing arts. A diverse cast, whimsical interactions between image and sound, and a sensible way of interweaving various disciplines have been fundamental to her work from the early days onward. In 2018, she debuted with the soundscape opera 'Medeamaterial'. Later, in 'I am the enemy you killed, my friend' (2018), she had two dancers, live video, and a percussionist explore the question of guilt. With 'Vacuum' (2020), she dissected the concept of Chaoskampf through a landscape of sound, movement, and light art. She reflected on the historical figure of Salomé in 'Dance of the Seven Veils' (2021). 'The Wild Stage' (2022) delves into the need to escape from our confusing times. In 2024, she begins a residency at KMSKA in Antwerp and the creation of 'Passages,' echoing a no-man's land where contrasting worlds meet.
