The One-Man Band

Created September 2014

Street concert for all audiences
Solo orchestra — Music with South American influences
Duration: 30 min
_

Music comes to life through the captivating performance of Argentinian multi-instrumentalist Santiago Moreno. Through a network of wires and pulleys, the artist's body is connected to an instrumentarium he wears on his back.

With humor, charisma and brilliance, this virtuoso musician-puppeteer plays a rhythmic score with South American influences, drawing the audience into an intensely poetic world.

Santiago develops within the Moult/head demanding research around the dissociation of the musician's movements echoing the puppeteer's techniques.

He explores this specific work from another angle, in the theater, serving a theatrical staging, as in Soledad, The False Orchestra And The Intimacies of the One-Man Band.

For concerts at music festivals, concert halls, or contemporary music venues, it's here.

My Modern Met – Mexico

To make it all work, Moreno relies on the principles of puppetry and carefully coordinates his movements to achieve the desired sequence of sounds from his many instruments. His act is a physical performance that requires a lot of planning and concentration, but he seems to be having a blast. He draws crowds with his charisma wherever he performs, whether on the street or in a performance hall.
