GruP (working title) is a participatory performance by Profondo Rosso that transforms public spaces through movement and interaction. With a gantry crane at its centre, the piece is brought to life by the three performers and their combined movement research, stemming from different disciplines: straps, balancing and breakdance. The team consists of cecilia Rosso at the straps, Jakob Lohmann into balances & a third member which will be cast later on fulfilling the breakdance part. A previous resaerch into the breakdance has been held in collaboration with Rapahel Albanese during past r&d residencies.

Together with the audience,  themes of trust, agency and transformation are being researched. By repurposing the crane and inviting its physical exploration, GruP builds an ephemeral community where people from different backgrounds come together, turning individual experiences into a collective movement.
