RubeN

Autoportante

Synopsis

After more than 10 years of great success at festivals and events on three continents with the show “ Fuori al naturale,” the Autoportante Company presents “RubeN,” a new show co-produced with Longuel. With live music and directed by Antonio Vergamini, “RubeN” presents as a multidisciplinary street theater and clowning show, with balancing on chairs, glasses, bottles and, of course, tight wire. On stage is an incredible unique self-supporting structure that allows walking in different directions and heights or swinging freely. A magical set design that will surprise young and old alike, both in squares and theaters.

Company

Autoportante is Italian-Argentine circus company formed by the tightwire walkers Emma Edvige Ungaro and Damian Elencwajg in 2013 in Turin after graduating from the Cirko Vertigo School. That same year they started the tour with their first show "Fuori al naturale", participating to this day in festivals, events and TV shows in Europe, Asia and Latin America. In 2019 they start an international cooperation project directing and participating in workshops and creation of various shows with "Collective Moves", a group of multidisciplinary artists performing shows in Sweden, England, Finland, Austria, Germany and Hungary until 2023. In 2020, the Company starts the creation of the show "RubeN", directed by Antonio Vergamini. At the same time, during the second half of 2021, they participate in the creation of "Circumsdances", a new show made for the city of Lübeck in Germany with two other high level tightrope walkers. In 2023 they debuted their show "The Great Pretender" and devoted 2024 to completing preparations for the premiere of "RubeN". With almost 20 years of experience in the ludic-recreational field, in theater and circus, since 2014 they perform specific workshops and seminars of tight wire for professionals of the sector and amateurs, incorporating in 2020 courses with online modality. They have collaborated in projects with schools, associations for the integration of refugees, children in vulnerable situations and people with Down syndrome, both in Italy and abroad.
