The company’s choreographic process has progressively given rise to a vocabulary in tune with political and social issues: exploring through dance social phenomena while questioning the repercussions on the body of social situations. Linga has become an artistic entity whose talent is recognised. Compagnie Linga is invited to the most important contemporary dance events and is supported by City of Pully, City of Lausanne, Canton de Vaud and Pro Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council.
