Soliloquio
Tiziano Cruz / 6th New Europe International Festival: PRETTY HARDCORE
Drawing on childhood memories and the 58 letters he wrote to his mother during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tiziano Cruz deploys dense poetics and poignant imagery in Soliloquy.
A performance aimed at exorcising centuries of abuse and erasure. A focus on the defolished cultures of the indigenous communities of northern Argentina, where he was born and raised. A scathing critique of those in power who perpetuate discrimination, exclusion and injustice, including the art world.
The play is the second instalment of a trilogy that allowed him access to the previously unreachable field of contemporary theatre: a manifesto for the recognition of differences. As generous as it is urgent, this work of art is an invitation to build the future instead of simply waiting for it.
Soliloquy was the winner of the ANTI FESTIVAL award in Finland 2023 and nominated for the awards Best Latin American Show, Premios Talía, Academia de las Artes Escénicas de España 2023, and Best New Young Artistic Direction - ZKB Zürcher Theatre Spektakel Sponsorship Awards - Switzerland 2022.
