Recognised and appreciated beyond national borders for its shows displaying an incredible physical proficiency and sophisticated inventiveness, Kataklo is a stable and independent company established in Milan in 1995 by Giulia Staccioli. It comes as a reply to big productions showing how in Italy there exists a reality tied to the physical theatre which, with its productions, fills the theatres of the whole world.

 

The name derives from the old Greek for “I dance by bending and contorting my body”. The refinement of the choreography and theatrical script of Kataklo has the emotive power of composing surrealistic scenarios, of creating conjuring postures and of dismantling imaginative barriers surpassing all cultural and linguistic boundaries and generation gaps. This could be well done thanks to the unmistakable and spectacular mix of body movements, dance steps, acrobatic athleticism, mime, humour, sound, lights and costumes.
