​​★★★★ " there is a Ru Paul’s Drag Race vibe when Rosso lip-syncs to Mariah Carey’s Emotions. Without a hint of make-up or glamour, he holds us in the palm of his hand as he sashays around the stage and ‘hits’ those incredible high notes."
-Kelly Apter, The Scotsman

​"Apocalipsync takes us on a hilarious, poignant journey. Rosso's explosive presence and creative brilliance promise an hour of pure, unfiltered energy where comedy meets virtuosity"
-Broadway Baby

"Luciano Rosso gives us a magnificent melée of diva dancing, contortionism, bone-cracking, air (flamenco) guitar and lipsynching."
-Total Theater Magazine Pick of the Day

APOCALIPSYNC​
​​​The Argentine actor from Un Poyo Rojo, takes us on an extravagant journey with his one-man show Apocalipsync.

Born during the spring 2020 pandemic, this show offers a reflection on isolation, creativity, and a cartoon-like view of our contemporary world.

Luciano Rosso brilliantly embodies around forty eccentric and witty characters who accompany him on an endless journey within the solitude of his apartment. On stage, he uses his elastic body to showcase his many talents: dance, clowning, contortion, and especially lip sync.

It is an exhilarating and hilarious performance about the many inventive ways we find to escape boredom.
