Erion Kruja

Born in Tirana, Albania, Erion grew up in a family where folk dance was an important part. He started dancing at age six and studied at the National Ballet School of Albania.
After his graduation in 2001, he began his career on stage with a commitment to the Albanian national theater, oriented towards classical ballet.

Curious to discover contemporary dance, he came to Switzerland in 2004, where he danced with the Company. Linga in Lausanne until 2006. He then spent two years at Theater Chemnitz before returning to Switzerland to join Cathy Marston’s Bern Ballet (2008-2011). In 2011, Erion Kruja received an invitation from London and became a permanent member of the Hofesh Shechter Dance Company. Over the next eight years, the dancer toured internationally with pieces such as “Political Mother,” “In Your Room,” “Uprising,” “Sun,” “Barbarians in Love,” “Clowns” (a film for the BBC) and “Grand Finale”.

Currently based in London, he creates as a guest choreographer around the world. His creations include works for the National Theater of Albania, the Amsterdam Academy of Arts, the Nuovo Balletto Classico in Italy, the Almeida Theater in London and ArtCross in Beijing. Recent creations include “Human” for the National Theater Mannheim (2020) and “The Lost Ones” at the Musiktheater im Revier Gelsenkirchen (2022).
