Three performers appear trapped inside a universe of lasers, light and haze, repeating behaviours as if they were programmed characters. But something fails. A small anomaly opens a crack and, from there, an unexpected journey outward begins: from automatism to awareness, from repetition to freedom. With a powerful visual identity, body language, music and an immersive staging, this piece turns the stage into a living device, surprising and in constant mutation. A visual, physical piece, accessible to audiences of different cultures and languages, combining humour, poetry and technology to pose a very human question: If you could step out of your own program, what would you do with your freedom?
Luciano Rosso is dancer, actor, director and choreographer, trained in classical, contemporary, African, jazz and hip-hop dance, he also trained as an actor with Osqui Guzmán, Daniel Casablanca, Hermes Gaido and Paco Redondo, among others, and as a musician. He works on voice with Magdalena Fleitas, Alberto Alonso and Tom Viano, and on percussion with Santiago Albin, Gabriel Spiller and María Zoppi. He joined the Nandayure Company, under the direction of Analía González, as a dancer, actor and choreographer. In 2001, he joined the famous percussion group El Choque Urbano, with which he participated in “Fabricando Sonidos” and “La Nave”. With these two shows, he went on a three-year tour of Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala. They were also performing in the Netherlands, South Korea and Syria. In 2009, he performed “Urraka”, a percussion show with objects and “Un Poyo Rojo”, a physical theater. With “Un Poyo Rojo” he also performed at the Belgrade Dance Festival in 2020, during the time of lockdown in European countries. Later, he performed his solo “Apocalipsync” as part of the two different Festival editions, and always admired by the Belgrade’s audience.
Excellent in several scenic disciplines, he develops particular interpretation movements, musicality and humour and deploys a series of lip-syncing, mime and dance techniques. It is ultimately an introspection into the intimacy and vulnerability of the actor, which invites you to follow him in his sassy and whimsical characters, but also in a world in crisis increasingly dependent on technology and social networks. Comical and moving, Luciano Rosso plunges us in a universe whimsical of which he alone has the secret.
