Born as a collective in 2012, Laura creates films, campaigns, video art, theatre, installations, circus and dance pieces inspired by contemporary stories. We write, choreograph & compose our own work, working as a team that merges and shapes different ideas into various art forms, with the same intention: capturing the conditions of human life and create work that is open-pored and that somehow reveals something of what is under the skin.
