Our mania for an accomplishment, an apex of our personal biographies, our longing for a thorough self-narration that might be valid forever, that might tell us who we are once and for all. No matter how many times it has already happened, we keep believing that somewhere or somehow we can be forever. We are in search of ourselves among our pictures, our cvs, our social profiles, in whatever may dis- play an achieved version of us. We collect fixed images, instants, endpoints, results, hoping that a chronicle of our several selves might provide us with more truth. Our unconfessed desire to become things. Then, there is breath. The relentless, continuous action that accompanies us along our whole life. The invisible web of all our instants and fragments of self, with no other goal than the simple, bare fact of keeping us alive.

Gennaro Lauro was born in England and grew up in Italy where, after studying Philosophy and Eastern Languages, approached dance and theatre, working since 2013 as an interpreter for the Italian companies Sosta Palmizi (Sulla Felicità), of which he is associated artist, and Atacama (Un bambino). In Rome he was one of the founders of the Rome-based theatre group Caravan. Since 2015 he performed in the creations of Romeo Castellucci, Moses und Aron at the Opéra de Paris and Teatro Real de Madrid, and Tannhäuser at Bayerische Staatsoper and NHK in Tokyo. He danced also for the Swiss company Greffe in the creation Zaoum by Cindy Van Acker. His new piece, Mondo, has been selected for the showcase Anticorpi XL 2020 and has been project resident at KommTanz/Cie Abbondanza-Bertoni and FabricAltra in Schio (Italy).
