Petrikor Dance prioritizes interdisciplinary collaborative work. Its mandate is to offer audiences comprehensive artistic experiences that encourage reflection and dialogue. Petrikor seeks to democratize art by combining different art forms and exploring themes of social interest.

Founded in 2016 by Bettina Szabo, a Uruguayan dancer and choreographer living between Montreal and Paris, Petrikor has collaborated with companies such as the Montevideo Chamber Ballet, KCDC, RYA Dance, and Cha Collective. Winner of the awards for best show, best choreography, and best performance from Movida joven in Uruguay, she is a member of DSLR and the Royaumont Foundation.

Her creations – Noir=+, Séquelles, Habitat, Zeruki, and Helichrysum – are characterized by their interdisciplinary approach and collaborations with musicians and visual artists. Her work has been presented internationally and supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, and the Conseil des arts de Montréal.
