Story: Apocalipsync
If you’re a stranger to “lipsync”, you might be wondering – what on earth is it? Lipsync is a discipline that requires its performers to feign singing by moving their lips with expert precision and perfecting the organic movements of the face and body, all whilst putting on a performance that both convinces and captivates its spectators. Rest assured, this deceptive genre of performance is by no means a cop-out – it’s a modern art-form! Count on Luciano Rosso to blow you away in his show

Théâtre du Rond-Point
If you ever want to feel the pulse of the French theatre scene, the Théâtre du Rond-Point is the place to be! But which roundabout or "rond-point" is it exactly? It's one of the most famous roundabouts in Paris, located near the Champs-Elysées, smaller than the famous Etoile roundabout under the Arc de Triomphe. Since 1981, it has attracted a host of directors from all over the world and a host of people with a passion for theatre. A major venue for contemporary creation since 1991, the Rond-Point does not programme "what people like, but what they don't yet know they’ll like", according to Jean-Michel Ribes, the theatre's current director. A real creative programme focused on living authors creating stories in real-time!
