Cruuu, Diana Gadish

Cruuu is a process: the self-discovery of a being in front of the audience. This discovery will lead them through different metamorphoses. Stories emerge, take shape, and unravel. A journey toward a primordial, almost ancestral innocence, with a good dose of absurdity; from the smallest and most delicate gestures to madness and emotional outbursts. With visual, wordless humor, the piece blends the poetics of movement—typical of dance—with the emotional depth and distinct behavior of clowning.

Diana Gadish crafts a personal and unclassifiable language, with body, dance, and clowning as her central axis. She studied the first cycle of Fine Arts at U.B. and choreography at S.N.D.O. (School for New Dance Development) in Amsterdam. She has performed both as an interpreter and with her own creations in Catalonia, various European countries, and Latin America. Since 2015, she has also worked as a hospital clown with Pallapupas.
