ROTES VELO is a company that collaborates with artists of different disciplines, that thinks across genres and questions traditional performance practice. 

They are raising the awareness of the young and the old, of culture enthusiasts or greenhorns for performing art in all its diversity.

Each creation is understood as a new opportunity to offer a glimpse at the contradictions that make us human. From its inception their on going practice has been based on devising frameworks for collaboration, investigation and discovery of innovative ways to blur the borders between Dance, Music and Theatre. As an example, the 40 minute long documentary film “Dance in the golden age” was the company’s first attempt to use cinema as language.
ROTES VELO is an emerging performing arts company founded in 2011 in Switzerland under the direction of Exequiel Barreras, Emilio H. Díaz Abregú and Hella Immler.

They realise at least one production per year and their shows brought ROTES VELO to Argentina, through Liechtenstein, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Poland and of course across Switzerland.

So far more than fifty artists from seventeen different countries, ranging from dancers and musicians to actors, have collaborated with the company contributing in the creation of artwork that always aims at conveying critical and conceptual ideas in an accessible, even entertaining way.

In 2016 ROTES VELO was granted an award by the city of St. Gallen in recognition for its „constant development of demanding and high-quality projects”. Both positive reactions from the audience and generous support from foundations and culture promoters have been motivating factors to keep on expanding the scope of the company.

Always aiming for the exchange and mutual stimulation on a cultural level, the company organizes and offers in addition to the performances, dance training, workshops and projects - like the permanent work with a group of elderly people.
