| Synopsis

Using as reference the phrase by Arthur Rimbaud, “Je est un autre” (I am another) and the traditional Mayan greeting: “In lak’ech”: I am another you” to which the other responds “Hala ken: You are another me “; I was interested in investigating the idea of the reflection in/of the other, of another man in front of me, what that other returns to me, and how my identity moves in relation to this encounter. -Lucio A. Baglivo

Lucio A. Baglivo

| Biography

In 1999 I started training at the Circus School La Arena, in contemporary dance, and in theater with different teachers in Argentina and Spain. From the year 2000 until today I work for different companies of theater, circus, and dance in Argentina and Europe.

I’ve started to make my own creations from the year 2006. Since 2007 I have lived in Madrid, Spain. So far my projects have been presented in countries such as Germany, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands, USA, Greece, Denmark, Chile, Spain, and Italy. I’ve been supported by Robert Wilson, Compañía Nacional de Danza (Spain) and Centro Danza Canal (Spain).

The objective of my art is to achieve a scenic work that, through dance, acrobatics, and theater, transmits emotions and connects with the viewer, enhancing all the senses on stage. Each project seeks a language of its own movement and particular stage poetry.

I work as a director and teacher, teaching acrobatics, contemporary dance classes, and creation workshops. Developing my own methodologies, Lucid Motion and Sensitive Memory, I stay in constant dialogue with my creations, sharing with different companies, schools of circus, theatre, and dance conservatories in Spain, Germany, Brazil, Greece, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, and Argentina.
