Der Förderpreis «Short Cuts» 2025 geht an Adriana Carlota Berwert
Mit ihrem Kurzstück «O Embalo» überzeugte die Tänzerin, Choreografin und Szenografin aus Zürich die Jury.
Das Werk besticht durch einen präzisen Dialog zwischen Tanz und Live-Musik, aus dem eine besondere Spannung im Raum entsteht, getragen von einer starken atmosphärischen Dichte.
Kostüme, Licht, Szenografie und Choreografie greifen eindrucksvoll ineinander und bilden ein stimmiges, ausdrucksvolles Ganzes.
Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Einsatz von Spitzentanz in einer zeitgenössischen Umsetzung – eine aussergewöhnliche Verbindung, die Adriana Carlota Berwert mit beeindruckender Selbstverständlichkeit und künstlerischer Präzision sichtbar macht.

With O Embalo she won the 2025 Tanz in Olten ShortCuts Prize. With her new piece Ariadne – a song for the lost she is the winner of the Double Tanz 2025 with Coach Lukas Marian, the piece will be developed in 2027/28. In 2022 she won the Tankstelle Bühne Prize with her piece Apprivoise-moi.
Since 2025 she has taken over the Light Design for Schlossmediale under the artistic direction of Pascal Viglino. In 2022 she started working alongside Michael Eigenmann as a light designer and technician and works in Theaterspektakel as a light technician. She developed several light objects, one of them which she pixel mapped for Remembering the Future by Ivana Balabanova. She worked in various roles at the same time, such as as performer and light designer for the piece Casa in the Theater der Künste Zürich and she also was artistic director alongside Laura Spichtig, choreoprapher, light designer and performer in Verklärte Nacht. In 2023 Alba, a piece created with Louise Mayer-Jacquelin, was nominated for the Jungsegler 2023.
She graduated from Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in 2017 where she performed works by Darren Ellis and Mark Baldwin as well as creating her own first choreographies. She worked with Thomas Page Dances, followed by joining Ballet Junior de Genève where she performed in works by Olivier Dubois, Sharon Eyal, Hofesh Shechter and Emanuel Gat. She has since turned towards the freelance scene and continues to perform in various settings including in her own work. Adriana finished her BA in scenography at ZhdK in 2025 and started doing her MA Choreography to delve into her own work.
