Aline Breucker thinks in pictures. Since graduating in scenography from Brussels’ École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre, she has been building bridges between the visual arts and the moving body in the performing arts. She does this in various media as a visual artist, and as a costume designer and scenographer in circus, opera, dance and theatre. Aline began her artistic career as an assistant to Vincent Lemaire in the opera houses of Innsbruck and Zürich. She designed costumes for Hopla Circus, Le Carré Curieux and many other circus companies and artists. Together with Jorge Jara, she designed the scenography for La Traviata (2009) at the opera house in Santiago (Chili). In 2010-2011, Aline was involved in the project Face-O-Scéno , in which an exchange took place between scenographers from Burkina Faso and Belgium. In this period, she worked on projects including the Pan-African theatre festival The Récréatrales and on a performance of Un Paradis sur terre for a young audience. As a costume designer, Aline also had a longstanding connection with the Ecole Supérieure des Arts du Cirque (ESAC). Circus’ rich history acts as a source of inspiration for her work.
