Workshop: Contemporary Acrobatics with Loneflight
With Gabriela Schwab Veloso
Loneflight
Loneflight-Theatre was founded in 2020 in Darmstadt (Hesse) by Brazilian performer and aerial artist Gabriela Schwab Veloso, after 20 years of professional experience. At this turning point in her career, she placed theatre in public spaces at the heart of her artistic vision.
The company blends acting, movement, and aerial arts to create a unique artistic language of its own.
Gabriela’s long-standing work as a clown also brings humor to the forefront, enabling the Loneflight-Theatre to establish a sincere and sensitive connection with its audience.
An artist who resembles a flyer—alone in the air, yet reliant on the support of many on the ground.
