About the artists:

Lucca Damilano is a Brazilian-American director, playwright and designer for the theatre. His work strives to reach a minimal and simplest way to connect to an audience, abstaining from frills and excessive flair. By stripping down to the minimal use of imagery, text, and movement in order to achieve a more primal and truthful connection between art and audience.

Untitled Theatre Collective is a community of multidisciplinary artists who investigate new ways of creating live performance for adventurous audiences. Through an ensemble- driven rehearsal process that aims to challenge the conventions of live performance, UTC's formalist approach aims to instill a sense of collaboration, boundless creativity, and a strong sense of community for our artists and audiences, with the common goal of constantly challenging our sense of creativity and expectations towards live performance.
