A clown falls, gets back up, multiplies. Through dance, physical theatre, circus arts, bodies suspended between air and earth traverse poetic visions, accompanied by live music. This is a journey through the metamorphosis of identity shifting and revealing itself.
The blucinQue company was founded in 2009 by Caterina Mochi Sismondi and based at the Teatro Café Müller (Turin). It combines different performance practices into a theatrical language that is visionary and immersive. Its productions blend movement, sound, and imagery into poetic landscapes suspended between dream and reality.
