CECILIA ROSSO
Mixed-Media Artist
ABOUT ME...
Cecilia Rosso is an interdisciplinary artist from Italy, currently based in the Netherlands. With a background in circus and a strong movement language, her work explores themes of self-perception, identity, and our connection to others—translating personal reflection into physical, visual form.
She graduated in 2021 from Fontys Academy of Circus and Performance Art (Tilburg, NL), specializing in aerial straps and hair-hanging. During her studies, she began to question traditional performance structures, expanding her practice beyond circus into a dialogue with other disciplines, from physical theatre to visual art.
Cecilia leads the collective Profondo Rosso, creating interdisciplinary projects that merge body, materials, and concept. Alongside this, she performs as a solo artist and collaborates with other companies. She also works as a technician—with a focus on rigging and lighting design, skills developed during her studies and applied both in her own projects and for external productions.
Her practice is driven by a personal, ambitious vision that seeks to connect different worlds and individuals within the international art field.

...AND MY ARTISTIC VISION
"My work explores identity and self-perception—how different facets of the self can coexist and shift through interaction with others and the environment.
Rooted in circus and expanded through technical theatre, my practice integrates movement with structural thinking. I use rigging principles, materials, and light as active elements—creating a dialogue between body, space, and mechanics.
With Profondo Rosso, I develop interdisciplinary works that blend physical performance, scenography, and conceptual research. These projects invite audiences to engage, reflect, and recognize themselves within immersive, ever-evolving experiences.
Beyond traditional theatre, I’m drawn to formats that adapt to space—installations and site-specific performances that expand the possibilities of connection."
"I am always interested to connect with other artists that are attracted to similar themes. Additionally, I aim to find opportunities and matches to support and further develop our work.
