Materia

Duration: 55 Min.  |  Contemporary circus, Material theatre  |  Withot words

For adults and young people from the age of 14

Materia is a theatre piece with one person and a lot of polystyrene. It moves as if it were alive. The stories are created in our heads.

“Materia” is a choreography for one person and polystyrene in a wide variety of guises. The production explores the possibilities of this ubiquitous material in our everyday lives up to the point where it comes alive and becomes the protagonist of the action on stage. The player accompanies his material through all phases of hesitation, resistance, feather-light mobility and powerful grandeur. It drifts through calm and darkness, alternating between discovery and destruction. A work of poetic magic.

Berlin-based Italian Andrea Salustri trained as a juggler in Rome before studying dance and choreography in Berlin. Winner of the European circus label “circusnext”, “Materia” was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2022.
