R. OSA – 10 EXERCISES FOR NEW VIRTUOSITIES

The performance R. OSA is inspired by Botero’s images, by Jane Fonda’s 80’s world, by the concept of success and performance.
What is success? How does the image make us slaves? And how is the image of others used?
In R. OSA – 10 exercises for new virtuosities, the spectator becomes active and entertained in a game where his or her view of dance, beauty and vitality is opened up to new, unexpected worlds.
A game that, with the desecrating humour typical of Gribaudi’s creations, succeeds in putting the spectator at ease, who becomes part of the performative action, to finally see reality with different eyes.
Together, Silvia Gribaudi and Claudia A. Marsicano unleash an explosive poetic power. From the director’s chair to the stage, they involve the audience in a breathtaking performance, capable of entertaining and questioning.

“In R. OSA by Silvia Gribaudi, Claudia Marsicano grasps all the lightness, freedom and disruptive desire to bet on her
own, cumbersome physicality with a performance of dizzying bravura”.Gabriele Rizza in IL MANIFESTO

“With Gribaudi in the director’s chair, Marsicano unleashes her own explosive, Junoesque power. […] She engages the audience in a breathtakingly wise performance, capable of entertaining and questioning. […]” Vincenzo Sardelli auf klpteatro.it
