LAZ BRUJAZ & amigas

LAZ BRUJAZ is an interdisciplinary collective that combines music, dance, and free improvisation. Founded by Vanessa Budai and Mariella Castelo, the project reinterprets the figure of the witch—as a symbol of empowerment, resistance, and collective transformation—through original compositions and choreography.

By blending contemporary jazz with Spanish and Latin American influences and dance-based choreography, LAZ BRUJAZ creates immersive performances. Through collaborations with artists from various disciplines, the collective explores cultural connectedness and collective expression. Through expressive performances, LAZ BRUJAZ creates futuristic, feminine realities.

LAZ BRUJAZ is currently collaborating with Andalusian percussionist Noelia Sánchez. For the performance at Luftschloss, the collective has invited flamenco dancer Piera Celeste as a special guest.
