PARADE (2021)
PARADE is the result of a research on the encounter and on the possible clash between distinctive performance disciplines. For this first part, my interest lies in the multiple strategies provided by the entertainment industry to produce laughter and amuse an audience, such as Cabaret, Musical, Stand-Up Comedy, Mime etc.
PARADE is inspired by a study of these techniques and references, with a focus on physical comedy and its power to manipulate the body for a humorous effect. The idea is not to try to do what might be funny, but using these skills to develop different materials and respond to the circumstances at hand, just as one would in real life.
