Argentina 🇦🇷 / Italy 🇮🇹 · Circus artist and choreographer
In 2014 he came to Europe in search of a language of his own. He earned a Master’s in Physical Theatre at the Accademia Teatro Dimitri (Switzerland), where he created NAGUAL, his first solo, awarded that same year at the Bewegter Wind festival (Germany).
For years he has trained intensively in dance, researching butoh with Atsushi Takenouchi and improvisation with David Zambrano. His work lives between circus, dance and physical theatre. He currently tours internationally with NAGUAL and works as a creator and teacher.
