Breaking Out
Salome Aebersold
Biography
Salome Aebersold is a swiss circus artist. Ever since she can remember, she has been fascinated by the incredible things a human body can do. Wishing to learn to move in that way too, Salome fell in love with aerials, especially with dance strapeze. She loves the feeling of flying in the air, whether she flies alone or with her duo partner as Duo Ocean Sisters.
Since graduated from École de cirque de Lausanne in 2022 Salome has performed with various compagnies. Her deep connection to nature continues to inspire both her life and art. Salome is a cofounder of Cie EllementArts, creating poetic nature inspired art. Movement is her way to express her emotions and feeling connected to herself.
Artistic Approach
Hanging between earth and sky,
I am stuck.
Trapped by my own fears,
Caught in the straps around me.
The air feels heavy, I can hardly breathe.
But inside me, something wakes,
A small hope a soft voice.
I start to move, Breaking the straps,
Finding my strength.
Out of the struggle my wings unfold.
I see the light and feel my breath.
I am free. I am free.
I am dancing.
I just am.
