"A company of great creativity and extraordinary international standing" wrote the State Council of Canton Fribourg to congratulate DA MOTUS! for its work.
As a sign of appreciation for receiving the award, DA MOTUS! created a short choreographic performance specifically for the ceremony which took place at the Espace Jean Tinguely - Niki de Saint-Phalle on 10 December. The dancers Alessandro Schiattarella and Fhunyue Gao performed in a dialog with one of Jean Tinguely's "machines".
Brigitte and Antonio were grateful for the kind words of the State Councillor and the Cultural Head of Fribourg. The State Councillor Jean-Pierre Siggen remarked "people are touched by the choreographies of DA MOTUS!, their quality, originality and great communicativ power". Mr Siggen added that "such an international standing for a Fribourg dance-company is unusual".
This award is an incentive for us to keep pushing the limits of our creativity.
