Yann Marussich - Swiss Performing Arts Award 2022

Born in Geneva in 1966, Yann Marussich is a unique personality on the Swiss performance scene. Having trained as a dancer, he worked in various French companies between 1983 and 1988, while at the same time pursuing an interest in the martial arts, such as the Vietnamese Viet Vo Dao. In 1989 he joined Noemi Lapzeson and ADC (Association de la danse contemporaine) in setting up the company Vertical Danse in Geneva, and from 1993 to 2000 was artistic director of the Théâtre de l’Usine, where he organised the contemporary dance programme and sought out new forms of expression. Since 2000 he has been concentrating on performance art, but remains a multifaceted artist: a writer, engraver and draughtsman whose work is also shown in exhibitions. In 2008 he won the Prix Ars Electronica in the “hybrid art” category with “Bleu Remix”. Yann Marussich has been supported by the City of Geneva since 2011 under the terms of a promotion agreement.
