Clara Delorme
Grief is often solitary, perhaps due to self-censorship or social norms. This project is a collective lament, an invitation to mourn together for the dead we knew and those we never did. For a moment, a group accompanies sadness without trying to fix it, in order to say goodbye and learn to live alongside absence.
Project selected by the Comizi community and invited to become a community workshop before opening to the public – Sandra Bressan Award, Teatri Riflessi Festival 2026.

Clara (1997) is a dancer and choreographer. Her artistic research explores the creation of monochromatic spaces and the characters that inhabit them, questioning the relationship between body, individual, and community. Her projects weave together an intimate dimension with social themes, as seen in L’albâtre, Malgrés, and Le repos, which received the Label + Romand and the Prix Suisse (Swiss Dance Award 2024). She lives and works between Switzerland, France, and Italy.
