NOSTOS

  • “We possess nothing truly our own except time, which even those without a home are still able to enjoy.”
    — Baltasar Gracián, The Courtier


    Nostos is a romantic abstraction of homelessness: a story told through the body — its manipulations, gestures and movements — through which the disciplines of dance and circus performance enter into dialogue.

    The two dancers/actors on stage create and dismantle the stereotypes of the ordinary life of an everyday couple, balancing existential drama with a profound sense of humour.

    The duo gradually disintegrates between boredom and routine in search of the identities of the two individuals who give it life.

    From this emerge tableaux that are at times melancholic, at times dreamlike, evolving through illusion, play and the multiplication of objects.

    Within this carousel destined for eternal repetition, the two grotesque clown-dancers maintain one another in balance, whirl through the air like spinning tops, smile, challenge each other and trust one another.

    — L. Maimone

“The duo formed by Maimone and Sobrado, through their performance Nostos, born from the encounter between dance, physical theatre and circus arts, transports us into unforgettable universes reminiscent of Charlot and Buster Keaton.

This duo of talented young artists brings together more than a decade of training and professional experience within its artistic journey.

Nostos possesses the delicacy and simplicity belonging only to great stage works. Through an exceptionally simple staging, the performance fills every corner of the auditorium with warmth, humour and tenderness.”

— A. Pola


“This duo of talented young artists carries within its trajectory more than a decade of training and professional experience.

Nostos possesses a delicacy and simplicity proper only to great theatrical works and, through an exceptionally minimal staging, becomes a performance capable of filling every corner of the audience with warmth, good humour and tenderness.”

— La Sentinella del Canavese
