CARICATURE

CARICATURE it's an itinerant and site-specific performance designed for public and non-conventional spaces, inspired by the expressionism of caricature in its form of "artivism"—an unusual and often humorous way of analyzing the transformations and continuities within society.

Bringing together a multidisciplinary ensemble enriched by diverse origins and cultures, the world of caricature is explored across various performative domains, blending animated forms, physical theatre, acrobatics, and object manipulation. The audience is guided along a journey illustrated by visual frames that continuously transform through movement, occupying the arteries and beating heart of each location—a physical center and symbolic metaphor for the community—in a reflection on society and the human condition.
