Dead Horse in a Bathtub

Solo | creation 2025

Dead Horse in a Bathtub blends feelings of nostalgia, derision, and immersion in the performance, exploring the twilight of this movie genre that marked a specific era. The show is the vehicle for a hybrid artistic adventure, between “danced concert” and storytelling. It questions the genre’s narrative conventions, providing an objective representation of the era’s emblematic figures, with tenderness and derision.
