SOUL SCAPES is an ongoing and interdisciplinary film and performance project by Andrea Hackl and invited collaborators as well as the artists who’s music and work has flown into the short films and video works part of this journey, e.g. Antoine Viard, Zachary Paul, Raffaele Schiavo.

Embracing and celebrating our connection with the earth and nature, inspired by the TAO and Buddhism, SOUL SCAPES is an alchemical quest, a visceral and poetic journey through a breathing organism of dance, film and live music. Like a dream to let wash over you, to dive into the impressions, colours and sounds; SOUL SCAPES invites its audience on a journey within and, simultaneously, beyond the space here and now, from forests, over lime stone cliffs to glaciers and the high mountains of Europe and the Himalaya.

Andrea Hackl
Based in Austria and the Netherlands, I am an interdisciplinary artist, working as choreographer and dancer, teacher and as well visual artist / film maker. I cherish the alchemy between different disciplines, while the human body and its visceral poetry remain at the centre of my work. I create dance and multidisciplinary performances and produce short films.

Throughout my career I’ve danced and toured internationally in the works of other makers and my own performative and visual work is being presented at festivals world wide; currently touring DREAMER – a poetic journey inspired by cycles and our innate connection to nature, travelling through an organism of live performance and film, in collaboration with the french saxophonist Antoine Viard. DREAMER has won the award for BEST INTERDISCIPLINARY LIVE PERFORMANCE at LensDans Festival Brussels 2023.

I’ve been collaborating with different musicians and, while working with an established structure, love to use improvisation in my performances.

My short films, eg.: BELE BELTZA, SILENT FRAGMENTS and LIGHT RISING have won various awards for BEST FILM and BEST PERFORMANCE / CHOREOGRAPHY. Visual work that I’ve produced has been featured in art magazines such a Clic.he and received Honourable Mentions.
