LUCA
LUCA AZA
Movement artist, musician, assistant director, creator
I work across disciplines – from classical ballet to contemporary circus,
from musical structures to embodied dramaturgy, from costume creation to writing music.
To me, creation is a living being where my role is to be the perfect cogweel to set the divine consciousness in motion.
I read scores, choreograph, compose in space and time. I perceive and construct. I shape the vibe through music.
What inspires me is working on productions where
I can use my ability to shift inbetween disciplines, to hold a bridge inbetween genres, to create understanding inbetween departments and artists.
I'm not a soloist, I'd rather be the invisible one in the background, managing the peacful existent and the perfect outcome.

Looking for
Projects where physicality becomes dramaturgy. Where emotional presence carries weight. I’m drawn to the spaces in-between genres: juggling meets opera, skating meets fire, vertical dance meets music. Where costumes are meant to be practical yet meaningful.
I perform, choreograph, direct, consult. I build from music, space, collaboration, and relation.
My ideal projects are temporary, moving – touring, seasonal, or festival-based productions – where intensity meets artistry.
Latest involvements
Rollerblading in Weber - Der Freischütz
In 2024-25 I had the opportunity to perform as Agatha Stunt Double at the Bregenzer Festspiele.
It was an amazing experience with a very extreme stage as we were performing on mostly wet plastic.
The opera was performed 60 times for more than 400 thousand people.
Dancer&Stunt in Weber - Der Freischütz
As the Mother's Ghost I lay in a coffin for ten minutes before emerging as the deceased mother. The role involved specific movement and a drowning-style disappearance under water.
It was a one of a kind experience and a beautiful movement research with Wired Aerial Theater.

I'm working occasionally with the Budapest Operett Theater as a fire dancer, stilt walker and juggler. In Carmen my role is to juggle in a partner acrobatic shoulder stand, passing clubs, fire eating and handling fire props with pyrotechnical effects.
The piece is still performed and is a huge success.
