    BIOGRAPHY
    My name is Marie da Silva and I was born and raised in the south of Germany.
    Growing up in a small city surrounded by a loving and supporting family I found myself thriving in arts and especially dance.
    After graduating school I started studying Contemporary Dance at the ZHdK in 2020 and got the chance to get to know myself and my moving body better.
    Currently I am interning with the MN Dance Company under the direction of Natja Bremec and Michal Rynia.
    This step wasn’t only a step towards independence but also confirmed my strong will to make it in this industry.


    DIPLOMAPROJECT
    Chiaroscuro is an artistic technique that uses strong contrast between light and dark to create a sense of volume and three dimensionality often found in portraits and still lifes of the renaissance but also in the baroque and romantic period.
    In the context of this film I’m playing with that term in movement textures and visual approaches.
    The pomegranate is used as a symbol for abundance, resurrection, recovery and femininity. It also often reocurs in still lifes. The brutal act of peeling the fruit reflects and echoes the balance of joy and challenge of human experience.
    Shedding layers of clothing resembles ripping layers of the pomegranates skin before you reach the precious insides. Is the work you put in, the mess, the stain worth the sweet but sour seed?
