Italian dancer and choreographer Silvia Pezzarossi, based in Brussels since 2012, initially trained in classical dance in Reggio Emilia at the Accademia Cosi-Stafanescu, before continuing her studies in contemporary dance at the Ballet Junior de Genève and at the professional school Modem / Cie Zappalà Danza (Sicily).

In Belgium, she has worked as a dancer and performer with Lies Serdons, the Poetic Punkers collective, Cie Marie Martinez, and the contemporary circus company Les Chaussons Rouges. Internationally, she has collaborated with Keren Rosenberg, Roy Assaf, and Roberto Zappalà.

Since 2013, Silvia has been developing her own choreographic work, creating Mucyclo (2014), Waiting for the Fishes (2016), En attendant que les poissons passent… (2018), and Habemus Naufragium (2024).

A keen observer of society, her research explores human behaviour and its dynamics, with particular attention to energy, expressivity, and bodily metamorphosis—balancing poetry and spontaneity. Her works are supported by the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles and Charleroi Danse, and have toured in Belgium, France, Greece, Turkey, and Italy.

Habemus Naufragium, her fourth project, was selected by the Théâtre des Doms as part of the Belgian programme at the Festival d’Avignon 2025.

Silvia is currently in the research phase for a new creation scheduled for 2027.
