Asteroide
Dancing after the apocalypse
A palaeontologist walks onto the stage. He talks calmly and with precision about fossils, meteorites and the great extinction of the dinosaurs. But slowly his story takes on another dimension. Words become songs, movements flow into dance, and the lecture derails completely into an absurd, moving musical about loss. Because behind the extinction of the dinosaurs lies a personal story: that of a love that suddenly disappears.
Italian choreographer Marco D’Agostin explores with humour, melancholy and self-deprecation how we deal with everything that once was and no longer is. Asteroide is a playful collision between dance, theatre and Broadway, in which the grand and the small, a meteorite, a broken heart, turn out to lie surprisingly close together.
An enchanting ode to the art of starting over, even after the end of time. Asteroide won the 2025 Italian UBU Award for Best Dance Performance.
