GHETTO

Marcelo Nunes
France
Static trapeze, fakir, clown

THE PROJECT / GHETTO depicts addiction as a silent predator, trapping its protagonist in a vicious cycle where fleeting pleasure inevitably dissolves into despair. Yet within this stark contrast between illusion and reality, a ray of hope gradually surfaces—a path to healing forged through the transformative power of suffering and resilience.

BIO / Marcelo Nunes is an author and performer whose artistic journey is rooted in an incessant quest for novelty, influenced by his experiences in Brazil and Europe. His practice focuses on three techniques: trapeze, clowning, and fakir, exploring the wild nature of humanity.

Since his first piece Pacemaker, he has expressed his world view through a unique artistic language. Marcelo Nunes sees the body as a means of communication, immersing himself in the cruelty and beauty of the human condition. On stage, he engages the audience in an authentic dialogue, revealing an often hidden humanity. Through his creations, he seeks to foster a poetic resonance between the artist and the audience.
