Filipina-Swiss contemporary dancer and choreographer Cécile Müller with the dance group Troupe Élevée performed at the Lokremise theater in St. Gallen, Switzerland on 04 December 2015. 

Entitled “What if they’re right”, the performance which was choreographed by Ms. Müller and Ms. Desiree Myriam Gnaba tells a story of grief, disorientation and fear of the unknown through versatile dance movements.

Ms. Müller, known for her expansive vocabulary of dance moves and contagious enthusiasm, performed a part in the choreography “An die Einsamkeit” by German choreographer Andreas Heise.  Troupe Élevée thus executed a brilliant performance for a full house audience.

Troupe Élevée was formed when its members first met during their classes at the St.Gallen school for ballet and dance. The group seeks to bring contemporary productions to the stage to touch and move their audiences through dance, and contribute to the dance culture in Switzerland.
