Adi Boutrous was born in Beer Sheva in 1989. He studied at Matte Asher School for Performing Arts in Kibbutz Gaaton, followed by the “Maslool – Professional Dance Program” in Tel Aviv-Yafo. He made his name as a dancer and choreographer in Israel before gaining international recognition. Rooted in conveying moral ideas, his works seek to reveal essence and intimate expression, a performative state he has developed since his debut creation, What Really Makes Me Mad, for which he received the first prize at the "Shades in Dance" 2013. In 2022, Adi Boutrous received The Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sport Award for Creation for his body of works.
