Soa Ratsifandrihana

Soa Ratsifandrihana is a French-Malagasy dancer and choreographer based in Brussels. After studying at the CNSMD of Paris, Soa has worked with James Thierrée, Salia Sanou, and Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. In 2021, she presented her first solo work in Brussels, titled g r oo v e. The show has been performed over fifty times and continues to tour in Europe, Canada, Asia, and soon in Madagascar. In spring 2024, Soa presents a diptych comprising a radio creation Rouge cratère and a performance titled Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna. Following her first solo work, she explores the possible entanglements between different mediums, from radio narrative to choreographic and musical composition. Her practice aims to remind us that our bodies, just like our words, carry stories, and no matter how we communicate them, these stories must be told. Soa is an associate artist at Kaaitheater from 2023 to 2025 and at the Centre chorégraphique d’Orléans from 2024 to 2026.
