About R.OSA - 10 Exercises for New Virtuosities
R.OSA - 10 Exercises for New Virtuosities is a work deeply rooted in Silvia Gribaudi’s poetic language, using sharp irony to question the representation of women, the body, and the roles society assigns them. Through an informal, direct relationship with the audience, the piece unfolds as a one-woman show built around a series of virtuosic challenges.
Inviting spectators to become willing—or unwilling—participants, R. OSA shifts our gaze and confronts our expectations of others. At its core, the work is a playful yet radical exploration of the body’s rebellion against gravity, limits, and preconceptions.
