CREATION AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECTS


In interdisciplinary projects, I explore music and my instrument as a space of discovery of sound, gesture, and imagination. Such projects have opened new ways of expression for me on stage and beyond allowing me to move fluidly between performing, creating,  and experimenting.
Collaboration lies at the heart of my practice: a space where everyone can contribute ideas, share expertise, and learn from each other. I work closely with composers, experiment with violin techniques, and shape new works through improvisation and research.
My artistic path seeks to build bridges between music, theatre, and performance, exploring subtle connections between sound, movement, and expression.



Among ruins and forgotten geometries, a signal repeats.

Somewhere in eastern Europe, an elderly man speaks calmly of a distant planet. He says its name is Asomaljia; that there are no wars there, and its inhabitants live in perfect harmony.

Fragmented images of monuments that evoke a past both distant and utopian intertwine with intimate stories, memories, and sounds, dissolving the boundaries between science fiction, utopia, and memory.

Sans-visage is a trans-disciplinary music theater performance that explores the themes of digital surveillance and privacy theft,through the lens of cartography.

Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of mapping as a process in flux, the work seeks to materialize invisible structures of digital power, making tangible the ways in which Big Data reorganizes social, economic, and spatial relations. Parts of the piece are In Situ, resulting from an artistic research and exploration of the city/venue.






CUT Ensemble presents their ongoing work on Sans-Visage, a trans-disciplinary music theater project exploring digital surveillance, mapping, and the politics of visibility.
Developed collectively, the ensemble began this journey at the Nicati Competition 2025 in Lucerne.
In this video, the artists share insights into the creation process — their methods of collaborative research, improvisation, and sound exploration — and reflect on how Sans-Visage continues to evolve beyond its initial form.
The trailer offers a glimpse into a world where music, movement, and digital poetics meet, tracing the blurred boundaries between presence, data, and disappearance.
Gone Hunting (2025, work in progress) – Aya Metwalli

A work in progress — a snippet from the closing concert of the Boswil Neue Musik Academy. The music was composed by Aya Metwalli for huntress and string trio.







Mirror of Wounds - an empowering multimedia performance premiered in Dezember 2024 in Bern (Switzerland) and awarded the Ammann-Falb Prize.

This performance  merges violin, bass clarinet, percussion, and live electronics with text, light, video, and symbolic objects such as red threads and mirrors. Structured in distinct scenes, the work directly challenges stereotypes of non-male bodies in music:
What is expected from a woman on stage? Why is appearance valued over artistic quality? How does the pressure to “be as good as men” shape our experience in a male-dominated field?

Through collective improvisation without a fixed score, each musician contributes equally with her own voice, resisting hierarchies and shaping a safe space for shared expression. The result is a multilayered performance where sound, image, and gesture confront gendered expectations in music while fostering a conscious space of solidarity and togetherness.
