Steampunk Parade

A theatrical performance in the form of a traveling parade that unfolds amidst urban architecture. Narratively, it is a metaphor for our times, in which the present is viewed, ground up, and rewritten in a fantastical, anachronistic, and grotesque manner. Steampunk is a branch of fantasy and science fiction that introduces anachronistic technology into a historical setting. The reference period is often the 19th century, and the context is Victorian London. Steampunk stories describe an anachronistic world—sometimes a veritable uchronia—in which weapons and equipment are powered by steam rather than electricity. It is a world in which the archetype of the "survivor" is embodied in a close marriage between sophisticated technologies for solving the problems of survival and a nostalgia for the beauty of beautiful forms. In the Steampunk Parade this fantasy world meets the real and contemporary one, creating surprising narratives through languages ​​derived from experimental theatre and contemporary circus.
