Rebeka Mondovics

Rebeka Mondovics is a Hungarian choreographer and performer who lives in Zurich. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in classical and contemporary dance from the Music and Arts Private University of the City of Vienna. At the beginning of her career, she was part of the ZfinMalta National Dance Ensemble and then joined the dance ensemble of the Volkstheater Rostock, where she began to develop her own choreographic signature. Over the course of her career, she has worked with renowned artists such as Georg Reischl, Paolo Mangiola, Esther Balfe, Jacopo Godani and Dimitri Chamblas.

Rebeka holds a master’s degree in choreography from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), where her work was nominated for the ZHdK Förderpreis. She choreographed her first own piece «Life Letters» at the Volkstheater Rostock, which was included in the theatre’s repertoire. In 2020, she created «A Duet», another work that also premiered at the Volkstheater Rostock. The short film version of this piece was shown at the IMARP – Mostra Internacional de Dança in Brazil.

In 2022, she presented «Landscape of a Breath», a commissioned work for the dance company of the St. Gallen Theatre, which premiered at both the St. Gallen Theatre and the Theater der Künste an der Gessnerallee in Zurich. Her first full-length work «DREAMER» was created in collaboration with the LOD Collective and Laureen Drexler and was performed in September 2023 at the Theater Odeon in Vienna and the Zentralwäscherei in Zurich. This piece was developed as part of residencies at Dance Identity (Choreographic Centre Burgenland) and Huggy Bears in Vienna.

Recently Rebeka staged an immersive performance with seven dancers for the ZURICH ART WEEKEND. Her most recent project was a collaboration between the Bachelor Dance Department and the Composition Department at ZHdK. In December 2024, she will take up a new residency at Dampfzentrale Bern to continue her creative exploration of contemporary dance.
