About

Z Art Dance Company

Z ART Dance Company

Created by the choreographer Giovanni Zazzera, the Z Art Dance Company works to contribute to the development of artistic creation in the art of dance & choreography.

Supported Company of the Ministry of Culture of Luxembourg, Z Art develops a work that explores diversity in dance, whether by its form, space or public involvement. Z Art places great importance on the human side in its artistic work, promoting artistic exchanges and collaborations which are an important part of the Company's identity.

Convinced that the movement is a human necessity, the multidisciplinary artistic approach of Giovanni Zazzera focuses on the trust of the body, guided through its inherent energy where images, motions, and emotions appear. Fascinated by the complexity of the human being, his work explores the identity and the authenticity of the movement through the poetic into the absurdity, social, emotional, and temporal topics, materializing it in space, times, and moments.

"In my work I'm constantly searching to strengthen an identity anchored by the essence of movement, oriented on the human and the living, thus nourishing a rich and complete subject, aiming at questions and current and timeless words."
