OUT
UnterWasser Company
Concept, direction, puppet creation, scenes, sounds, lights, performers: Valeria Bianchi, Aurora Buzzetti, Giulia De Canio
OUT is a visual, multidisciplinary show, an original training tale told through the imaginative language of puppetry, a poem for adults, which can also be seen by children. An initiatory journey that leads the protagonist out of the house, a metaphor for certainties, to put him in relation with the world and with its inevitable contrasts. The poetic language of the different techniques used transports the audience into a dream dimension, transmitting its universal message through the use of archetypes.

UnterWasser was founded in 2014 by Valeria Bianchi, Aurora Buzzetti, and Giulia De Canio. The company places itself on the border between visual theater and contemporary art, studying their mutual contaminations and creating an original poetic and imaginative language that becomes a tool for investigating humanity and its facets. With the show UNTOLD he debuted at the Biennale Teatro 2020. The company received the “Valter Ferrara Award 2019” and the ANCT prize 2022.
