“Mondo” means world, hopscotch, and the opposite of immondo, ‘unclean’

In this compelling solo dance performance, Gennaro Lauro explores our obsession with fixed results, personal achievements, and curated self-narratives, contrasting them with the quiet, continuous resistance of breathing and living.

Through relentless movement and reflection, Mondo celebrates the ever-incomplete masterpiece of being human, capturing life not as a collection of static things, but as a living sequence of steps and breath.
