As a choreographer, my work is rooted in the exploration of identity, subversion, and the body as a vessel for storytelling. I draw inspiration from the intersections of punk, queerness, and underground cultures, always seeking to create spaces where the raw and the surreal coexist. My choreography is often a blend of humor, abstraction, and deeply felt emotion, aiming to challenge societal norms and invite audiences to question their assumptions about gender, power, and human connection.

Movement for me is a form of rebellion, it’s about pushing against what is expected and finding freedom in the unpredictable. I aim to make work that is bold, provocative, and unapologetically visceral. My pieces often straddle the line between fantasy and reality, blurring boundaries while embracing contradiction.
​
At the core of my work is a desire to reflect the world as I see it—queer, vibrant, messy, and full of life. I am fascinated by how movement can transform a space, amplify a voice, and turn the personal into the universal. Through dance, I seek to create moments of connection, empowerment, and a celebration of individuality.

choreographic works

polan
2024

Concept and Choreography: Serena Landriel
Music from Cravune, Ignez, Natasha Barrett, with a mix by Serena Landriel
This concept evokes a deep sense of abstraction, rebellion, and transformation. It draws inspiration from two potent artistic movements—Dada's anarchic embrace of the absurd and Lucio Fontana's exploration of space and time through his White Manifesto. Merging these ideas with personal themes, like my father's absence, creates a profound narrative about the reinvention of form and meaning.

let the thunder god, kill me!
2023

Concept and Choreography: Serena Landriel
Music from Ruben Felberbaum, Stella Zekri, Hildegard Knef, Rrose
​Let the Thunder God, Kill Me! is a thought-provoking dance and performance installation that delves into the fundamental aspects of human existence. It explores profound questions about our origins, the circumstances that have brought us to this point, our ability to coexist with one another, and the legacy we leave behind.

NINETY NINETEEN-SIX
2022

Concept and Choreography: Serena Landriel
NINETY NINETEEN-SIX is a neon-soaked tribute to the year 1996—a time when queerness burst unapologetically into the night, love and lust intertwined on dance floors, and punk met rave in a wild embrace. We take you into a world where inhibitions melt away, where bad moods vanish in the heat of the night, and where the Virgin Mary herself might have dropped acid just to feel the pulse of life. It’s the year when Dolly the sheep was cloned, and the boundaries of reality felt as fluid as the people who lived in it.
​
We invite you to join us in reliving the spirit of ’96, a celebration of queerness, love, rebellion, and the untamed freedom of nightclubbing. Let’s dance until the world feels right again.

FAIRLY ROTTEN
2021

Concept and Choreography: Serena Landriel
​FAIRLY ROTTEN is a visceral journey through the stages of womanhood, raw and unapologetic. The piece begins in the slow haze of a bar scene, representing the early moments of life, where time moves at its own pace. As the story unfolds, the dancers transition through the thrilling and terrifying discoveries of selfhood—sexuality, identity, and autonomy. With humor and edge, we turn societal expectations on their head, diving into a dominative, punk-fueled sequence that mocks the absurdity of imposed norms.
​
Feminism pulses through every beat, rubber and fantasies collide, and fake babies serve as symbols of the pressures and misconceptions tied to womanhood. In this queer, vibrant exploration of love and rebellion, we embrace the mess, the contradictions, and the beauty of being "fairly rotten." The piece ends with a powerful spoken word scene, laying bare the trajectory of a woman from birth to death—a loud, unfiltered testament to resilience, strength, and defiance.
