Daniel Hellmann is a singer, performer, dance and theater maker from Zurich. He studied philosophy, classical singing and theater \/ performance and since 2012, he has been developing his own artistic work, touring internationally and winning various awards. Hellmann sees his artistic practice as a form of intersectional activism. His projects explore the body, bodily relationships and desire, and question social norms and power relations in the fields of sexuality, human and animal rights. His solo performance “Traumboy” (2015) on male sex work was selected for S\u00e9lection Suisse en Avignon and for Swiss Selection Edinburgh.

In May and June 2022, Hellmann traveled across the USA as Soya the Cow – with the solo exhibition “Planet Moo,” performances and activism.
