SBADABENG or the art of hitting yourself
comedy / pyshical theatre / body percussion performance
written and performed by Anselmo Luisi
“Conquering the audience with captivating simplicity, the show presents itself as a powerful arrangement of the performer's vocal, bodily, mimic and interactive skills.
After leaving the place of the performance, the audience keeps vividly the memory of an experience lived in the first person, of an ethereal and at the same time intense suspension of space”
Oretta Bressan on “La Voce del Popolo”, 28/06/2022
A man is alone on stage.
No object or instrument besides his body. A hilarious journey through music and theatre which will make you discover unexpected sound landscapes blending mime, body percussion and singing.
An allergic coughing fit becomes a beatbox performance; a lady at the restaurant complaining with the owner about a dish becomes a scat duet of rhythmic jibberish; a man rinsing his dirty shirt becomes a body percussion performance which will lead the entire audience to experiment what it feels like to generate sounds and to make music using by hitting yourself.
Be ready to get your face slapped.
