Claudia Bosse is a choreographer, artist and directs theatercombinat. Her works negotiate forms of violence, history and concrete utopias. She understands her expansive choreographies as "art of a temporary community" in which she interweaves myths, rituals, texts and documents with (non-human) bodies, language, objects and choirs to create pieces. Inside and outside Europe, in museums, architectures, theaters, landscapes and urban spaces, she develops site-specific works, performances and interventions.
