The artistic collaboration between Andrea Bochicchio and Teresa Bruno began in 2019, starting from the common path of physical theater, clowning and nonverbal comedy.
Cie BRUBOC was born as an artistic project based on a research path rooted in the study of gestures, body movement to give life to a comedy that makes truth its strong point. The collaboration has its engine in the union of two worlds: the desire to create innovative and unreal machinery and an aesthetic imagery linked to the old world of the circus and the comedy of Chaplin and Keaton.

Andrea Bochicchio: He is an actor, clown, trainer specializing in improvisation, clowning, physical theater and commedia dell'arte. He became a professional improviser, attended Piliph Radice University of the Performing Arts and graduated with honors. At the same time he studied Commedia dell'Arte with masters: Giovanni Balzaretti, Antonio Fava, Claudia Contin, Eugenio Allegri and Carlo Boso. He perfected his training on Clown with: Sue Morrison, Peta Lily, André Casaca, Jhonny Melville, Rita Pelusio. Since 2013 he brings on tour “I Am leto” “Cain Royale” directed by Rita Pelusio, “Taro the fisherman” surreal show dedicated to children, “Salt” Commedia dell'Arte and superdrama. Since 2007 he has been a theater teacher and promotes a pedagogy with the body in action at the center. Since 2017 he has been Dr. Pate for Theodora Foundation Onlus, a reality present in 8 countries around the world that helps children face the difficult ordeal of hospitalization. From April 2017 he joins the corps of Mimes of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. From 2019 she begins her artistic collaboration with Teresa Bruno in the show “WOOW!”.

Teresa Bruno: She is an actress, clown, trainer and director. She began working with the body as an acrobat through artistic gymnastics until she met clown Andrè Casaca. She began an artistic collaboration that led her to devote herself completely to researching the potential of nonverbal comic language. This path reached an important stage in 2002, when she founded, with Andrè Casaca and Stefano Marzuoli, Teatro C'art in Castelfiorentino. She deepens her studies on mime, clown, dance and voice with Yves Lebreton, Philippe Gaulier, Jos Houben, Lume Teatro Brazil, Paco Gonzales-Famiglie Floz, Sue Morrison, Marigia Maggipinto - Pina Baush's company, Atsushi, Pilar Carmona, Monica Scifo, Ida Maria Tosto and Marco Farinella Istituto Modai. At the same time, her artistic research has led her to realize several theater productions over the years as an actress and author. Since 2002 she has been replicating her shows “Famiglia Vagalume”, “Matrimonio Italiano” and since 2012 “Rosa” in festivals and theaters around the world. Since 2012, the show ROSA has been repeated in theater festivals for children, adults in theaters and open spaces, enjoying great success. Since 2016 he has been teaching adult training courses on body expressiveness and readiness, the essence of clowning and voice through Gisela Rohmert's Functional Method, for which he is certified to teach at the Modai Academy in Turin. From 2019, he began his artistic collaboration with Andrea Bochicchio with the show “WOOW!”

WOOW! is a surreal, nonverbal and clownish comedy show. They come from far away, traveling for no one knows how long...! Two headlights of a Vespa, a handlebar of an electric scooter, a moving treadmill, magic lights and mechanisms. An image that generates awe, wonder and surprise, WOOW! A pair of clowns aboard their bizarre copper and metal vehicle, with wheels, motor and sound system, will traverse the streets of the Festival.
Playing with their bodies is their life! Their vehicle is their home and the square is the perfect place to take a break on this long journey. In this stop they will share a little of their life, their worldview of play, movement, dance and magic. Then they will set off to their next destination aboard their amazing vehicle.
