Created in 2017 under the initiative of Marc Oosterhoff, Cie Moost explores the performing arts by mixing dance, theatre and circus while seeking a language that is both singular and non-elitist. To date, it has created and produced several shows. The smooth running of the company is made possible by the joint work of Marc Oosterhoff, Valérie Niederoest in administration, Isabelle Campiche in distribution and Leo Garcia as technical director. From the beginning, the company’s artistic work has benefited from the enlightened and pertinent eye of Latifeh Hadji.
The company mainly tours its shows in Switzerland and France, but has also visited other countries such as Spain, the UK, Italy and Lebanon. Touring is an important part of Cie Moost’s work, and the company puts on numerous performances throughout the season.
