Tiran Willemse is a dancer, choreographer from South Africa based in Zurich and Berlin. His performance based practice is rooted in a careful attention to space, imagination, gesture, and sound, focusing on how they relate to the ways in which constructions of race, gender and memory are performed, communicated and challenged. Willemse won the Swiss Performance Art Award 2023 and is a resident artist at Gessnerallee in Zurich while his work continues touring internationally.
