Un Poyo Rojo – completed

Impressions Info Credits Trailer In the Press

The season of Un Poyo Rojo has ended.

Two artists in skimpy sports clothes face each other on a stage and stand in a fighting stance.
An artist carries another on his shoulder and seems to be about to throw him on the floor.

In an empty dressing room two, men play with movement, an analogue radio and tiny shorts.

That’s all the two performers need for their wonderfully bizarre, energetic physical narrative situated somewhere between acrobatics and dance, wrestling and slapstick. Un Poyo Rojo has been celebrated by audiences and critics worldwide for ten years and is now presented in Berlin for the first time.

Set in a testosterone loaded dressing room, the athletic bodies of Luciano Rosso and Alfonso Barón move fluently through various forms of moving art. The two performers present stereotypical macho behaviour with a wink, alternating between competition and camaraderie that is repeatedly broken by homoerotic moments. The protagonists are able to cleverly deconstruct common ideas of masculinity. Un Poyo Rojo is a masterful tour-de-force of acrobatics, dance, humour and sexuality – an invitation to laugh at ourselves and to accept ourselves as we are.

In the Press

BroadwayBaby

Hilarious, technically mind-blowing piece which calls itself physical theatre but defies genre…Un Poyo Rojo is truly enjoyable and a fantastic show to watch

The Sunday Times

Un Poyo Rojo doesn’t just arch a brow at masculinity, it takes a cigarette from it, then blows smoke in its face

The Outlier Scotland

The choreography is gorgeous, funny, sizzling and thrilling all at once
