🌬️ moved by the wind 🌀
Choose a language: 🇬🇧👇 / 🇫🇷 / 🇮🇹 / 🇩🇪 / 🇪🇸/ 🇵🇹
A poetic and immersive circus piece where an aerial structure and two trapezes become the stage for a body carried by the wind.
Through a timeless space, nature reveals its strength and fragility, always changing, always alive.
Life and death dance together in a journey that rises into the sky, towards the highest clouds.
An intimate moment where the artist, the space, the audience, and the wind – the invisible force that moves everything – become one.
On international tours since 2018, Nagual moved by the wind has appeared in more than 75 festivals and events across Europe, Latin America and Asia, with over 300 open-air performances for audiences of all ages.

Bio
Adriano Cangemi (🇦🇷/🇮🇹) is a performer, choreographer, and Trapeze artist whose work bridges contemporary circus, physical theatre, and dance.
He began his artistic journey in 2006, leaving the field of communication to fully dedicate himself to the performing arts. He trained at the Escuela de Circo Criollo in Buenos Aires and earned a Master’s degree in Physical Theatre from the Accademia Teatro Dimitri in Switzerland, where he created NAGUAL, his first solo work, awarded in Germany.
His research incorporates Butoh dance (with Atsushi Takenouchi) and improvisation and composition practices with David Zambrano, Andrés Corchero, Mick Barnfather, and Julyan Hamilton.
Adriano has collaborated with both traditional and contemporary circus companies, as well as directed and co-created his own productions. NAGUAL has been touring internationally since 2018, with over 75 festivals and 300 performances across Europe, Latin America, and Asia — often presented in open-air spaces and for audiences of all ages.
He currently lives in southern France, where he continues to explore a poetic language of the body in the air and a movement dramaturgy that questions the relationship between the artist, space, and audience.
