SENZA TE

Senza te is a fiction of excess in which hyper-emotional gestures and music are the protagonists. The choreography uses theatricality and artificiality to challenge the conventions of representation and invites the audience to explore closeness and emotion in exaggeration. Bruno Brandolino delves into a personal archive where melodrama and camp' sensibility intersect with his own history of migration and queerness. Between concert, drag performance and dance, he celebrates the beauty of the theatrical, the reinvention that lies in performance and the tantalizing deception of fiction.

Bruno Brandolino

is a Uruguayan choreographer and performer based in Lisbon. He develops choreographic work individually and in collaboration with artist Bibi Dória (BR/PT), between Latinamerica and Europe. His artistic work delves into questions of choreography, fiction and dramaturgy, through vocal and physical experimentation. He has collaborated as a performer for several artists in Portugal and Uruguay. In Montevideo, Uruguay, he graduated from the acting program at EMAD | Dramatic Arts School, completed inDANS dance program, and was granted a scholarship by the Ministry of Education and Culture to study at Forum Dança's Advanced Program in Performing Arts.
Bruno’s project for K3, Melodrama, proposes the creation of a choreographic fiction that moves between the limits of a small concert, a drag performance, and a dance piece. Drawing on a personal archive of campy and melodramatic materials, only performed in his own intimacy, he will work on the notion of identity and its relation to his experience of immigration.
