  FURA
 

After having attended dance and theatre courses in Spain and France, in 1993 Fura starts her career as a trapeze artiste in Paris. A disciple of Josephine Maistre, Zoè, trapeze artiste of the now disappeared Circo Aligre, she decides to devote herself to the work and creation of movement in the air.

In 1995 she moves to Montreal (Canada), to be trained by Andrè Simard in the Swinging Trapeze technique. This Canadian instructor is the creator of the Les Gens d'R in Montreal and trainer of the aerial shows in the Cirque du Soleil.

In 1996 Fura returns to Paris and starts working at the Romanesque Bouglione Circus. Later on, she comes back to Barcelona and meets other circus professionals of her country.

It is then when she creates the fixed trapeze show 'Angel Heart', and a year later, 'Fourteen', a choreography on vertical cloths. Both shows have been performed at several theatre, circus and dance festivals around Europe, the USA, and Asia.

In 2002 she gives her first performance of Solve et Coagula (Azoth) in Barcelona, a synthesis work gathering both technical knowledge and a personal creative process about movement in the air.

This same year Fura starts collaboration with the Catalonian company 'La Fura del Baus' in 'Fantastic Symphony', directed by the company member Pep Gatell.

Fura's work has been awarded twice, in 1998 as best show in Cognac (France), and in 2002 in Barcelona with the prize Aplaudiments Sebastià Gasch.
