József Trefeli, fellow of the Bogliasco Foundation, founded his company in 2005 in Geneva. The company’s mission is to promote choreographic research and foster collaboration with other choreographers and companies, building long-term, two-way cultural exchanges. Over 20 choreographic works have been developed and toured more than 35 countries across six continents.

Trefeli received the Swiss Dance Award 2017 for Creature and five nominations in four categories for Ipseity at the Russian National Golden Mask Awards 2021.
