CONCERTO
by Igor x Moreno
About CONCERTO
...the most transfixing performance.
(DanceTabs)
...eighty minutes of pure delight, bringing together brilliantly original choreography, gruelling performance and clever design.
(Reviews Hub)
Ever since their smash hit Idiot-Syncracy, the ”hot queer performance mavericks” (The Arts Intel report) Igor x Moreno have established themselves as some of the most entrepreneurial, influential and innovative artists working in Europe today.
Now, following their recent critically acclaimed productions BEAT (2019) and Karrasekare (2023), the duo return to The Place with the UK premiere of an earlier work. CONCERTO is both song-writing and choreography. It is Igor x Moreno's first 'danza canzone' -- a form inspired by 'teatro canzone' made popular by Giorgio Gaber.
With a playlist of songs written by Moreno Solinas, arranged by Simone Sassu and performed live by Moreno Solinas and Igor Urzelai Hernando, the work is intimate and visually rich, featuring a live DJ and elaborate costumes by Liborio Capizzi.
