The DellArte Company, the internationally recognized physical theatre ensemble based out of Humboldt County, is delighted to present SOPRO, a transcendent solo performed by Carlos Simioni of the acclaimed Brazilian company, Lume Teatro.

Lume Teatro is internationally renowned for their staggering range of diverse works derived from their exploration of rigorous physical disciplines.

Carlos Simionis performance in SOPRO is a solo work that takes the audience through an amalgam of time, images, and sounds by way of slow movements, sans words. Created by Carlos Simioni, Tadashi Endo, and Denise Garcia; and directed by butoh artist Tadashi Endo, SOPRO is an inspired interpretation of the Portuguese word breath. The cycles of life are reflected in minimal gestures that recall the falling of a seed, a trunk in the wind, the whirl of leaves in a torrent of water, the resistance of a small being against giant raindrops. Simioni provokes the sensation of time made visible. These performances of SOPRO were made possible by a TCG Future Leaders: International Fellowships objective of the New Generations Program.
