Lisa Horten-Skilbrei passes away

Lisa Horten-Skilbrei has passed away, her family announced on her Facebook account.


In the post dated 19th December 2024, her family said Lisa passed away on 16th December at the University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland. She was 28 years old.


“Her time with us on this earth has come to an end, but now she dances on the moon among the stars in the universe,” the post said.


Deepest condolences to her family and friends.

The Norwegian dancer with the Ballett Basel was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in March this year. She was then 27 years old. In August, colleagues and friends organised a dance gala, Strength and Grace Benefit, and set up a Go Fund Me account to raise funds to support Lisa.


R.I.P. Lisa. You continue to be an inspiration to us all.
