About the performance

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.
A live experience centered on the relationship between the artist, the space, the audience, and the wind that moves everything.

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 (Argentina / Italy) 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 later earned a Master’s Degree in Physical Theatre from the Accademia Teatro Dimitri in Switzerland, where he created NAGUAL, his first solo work, which received the Special Prize at the Bewegter Wind Festival in Germany.

His artistic research integrates Butoh dance, studied with Atsushi Takenouchi, as well as improvisation and composition practices developed alongside David Zambrano, Andrés Corchero, Mick Barnfather, and Julyan Hamilton, among others.

Adriano has collaborated with both traditional and contemporary circus companies and has directed and co-created his own productions. Since 2018, NAGUAL has toured internationally, with more than 75 festivals and over 300 performances across Europe, Latin America, and Asia — often presented in open-air spaces and for audiences of all ages.

He is currently based in southern France.
