OZ is an expanded, distorted, amplified, artificial vision of the reality we live in. It is the expanded world that lives within us as individuals and alongside us as a community.

OZ is a choreographic journey that explores the dualism between the familiar and the unknown, inspired by the classic tale of The Wizard of Oz.
Each character represents a part of our being, driven by an inner tornado in search of a new home.

OZ is a walk to be taken together, performers and audience, in a continuous play of mirrors and relationships.
Together we will walk over the rainbow and along the yellow brick road, in a mutual sharing of space and time.
Only together can we reach the Emerald City and meet the Wizard.
Only together can we try to return home.

Above the Emerald City shines a sun of green rays.
(F. Bauman, 1900)

The show is conceived both as a site-specific urban version and as a site-specific theatrical version.
