📖 Dance, acrobatics, and seduction without words

Inside an ordinary locker room, two men confront, challenge, fight, and seduce one another to the spontaneous sounds of a live radio broadcast. The piece investigates the boundaries of movement and contemporary expression, blending dance, athletics, and sensuality.

Seamlessly fusing high-energy acrobatics with sharp comedy, both naive and cutting, the performance invites audiences to laugh at human quirks while celebrating the vast emotional and physical range of the body.

🏟️ Creative team and venue

Performed by Luciano Rosso and Alfonso Barón, the piece features choreography created by both performers alongside Nicolás Poggi, under the direction of Hermes Gaido. It takes place at La Villarroel, a key theatrical venue located in Barcelona's Eixample.

ℹ️ Good to know: Non-verbal show. Recommended for audiences aged 14 and above.

✨ A vibrant explosion of physical comedy, body language, and raw skill.
