Tiziano Cruz Soliloquio — **On Tour.**

**Soliloquy (I woke up and hit my head against the wall)** is his latest creation that premiered as a co-production of the Buenos Aires International Festival - FIBA 2022. This is the second piece of a trilogy.
How to be a migrant in the same territory? This biography explores the collective memory of a town in northern Argentina, from a society that highlights whiteness. He reflects and questions his role as a contemporary artist, on the spaces of consecration, on the concessions before the institutions of power arrive if there is a place to arrive.
It consists of two parts: a site-specific dance (built together with a local community) followed by a performative conference (unipersonal); both combine theatre and stage performance placing the autobiographical research and regionality (as features, identity gestures of a specific place) as the germ of the creation of scenic materiality.
