lobo

NYU Skirball will present the North American premiere of Brazilian director Carolina Bianchi ‘s LOBO (Wolf) on Friday, April 3 and Saturday April 4 at 7:30 pm at NYU Skirball. Intertwining sly humor and raw carnality, Brazilian polymath (actor, playwright, choreographer, director) Carolina Bianchi shares the stage with 16 naked men in an unrepentant dance meditation on the “Alpha Female.” A wry liturgy of bodies, LOBO (Wolf) marries fierce, sensual kaleidoscopic tableaux with a knowing commentary on women’s power. Turning the tale of Little Red Riding Hood on its head, Bianchi drolly forces the question: Who is the wolf? Lobo is performed in Portuguese with supertitles and is appropriate for ages 18+. Carolina Bianchi is a Brazilian director, actress, choreographer and playwright Since 2015, Bianchi has worked with Cara de Cavalo (Horse’s Face), a group of multidisciplinary and independent artists. Through eroticism, violence, and farce, her work involves practices that drive actors to extreme physical and emotional states. Among her most recent works are LOBO, Kill Me with Pleasure and The Magnificent Tremor . LOBO marks her North American debut.
