BIO

Josefina Colli was born in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, into a family of visual artists who deeply influenced her passion for creative expression. After studying Visual Arts in her hometown, she began an experimental journey in circus arts, where she discovered a unique connection with the Cyr Wheel—a discipline that became central to her artistic language.

​

In Bahía Blanca, she joined the circus company El Despegue, which received several grants from the Municipal Arts Fund. There, she created her first Cyr Wheel project, "Entre Nos", recognized for its originality and depth. Self-taught and in constant pursuit of growth, Josefina moved to Europe to study at the "Flic" circus school in Turin, Italy.

​

Her artistic journey then led her to Barcelona, where she currently lives and deepens her study of contemporary dance at "Area Dansa Barcelona". She has developed a distinctive style that merges circus and dance without hierarchy, focusing on the dialogue and connections between these disciplines. Her research centers on finding common ground between both practices, enriching her work through creative collaboration.

​

In 2023, her project "Poética Salvaje" was preselected for Circus Next as the Spanish representative, marking a significant milestone in her career. Since then, this project has evolved into a new creation titled "Sola", in which Josefina delves into themes of solitude, resilience, and self-discovery through a visually and physically compelling blend of light, gravity, and cyclical movement. This ongoing project reflects her dedication to pushing the boundaries of her artistic language.
