Almo BB

Created by Davide Brancato and Noémie Griess, Almo BB imagines a theatre of excess where cabaret, performance, drag, music and intimate confession fuse into a dramatic variety show inspired by Pedro Almodóvar. Through a shifting gallery of characters — a nun, a cross-dressing singer, a widow — the piece probes mutable identities, devouring passions, solitude, family inheritances and gender injunctions. Drag operates as metamorphosis and revelation, letting bodies, voices and emotions exist in full complexity.
