Lorenzo Gianmario Galli is a professional street and stage performer.

 

   Born in Turin, in July 1980, he graduated in Industrial Design / Architecture at the Polytechnic University of his city, in 2005. Two years later, he began attending the three-year intensive course in Physical Theatre with the Lecoq method, at Philip Radice's school.

 

   Since 2010 he has been looking for his personal performative language, combining music, clown and street-theatre. In 15 years, his eccentric one-man-band, called GALiRò, took part to hundreds of events in more than 30 countries of Europe, Asia and America.

   Beside his solo project, he has collaborated with several international shows in the fields of street-theatre, variety, puppetry and storytelling. The most recent, "Alice: Dreaming of Wonderland" by the Compagnia Pecolli / Mystero (Riga, LATVIA), went on tour in the UNITED      STATES in April / May 2024.

 

   Passionate about cinema, photography and visual arts, in 2021, he worked on the "Oriphoea"

     Project for which he created various environmental installations and a short film

      (1st price "Animati in video”, Festival Arrivano Dal Mare / Teatro del Drago, Ravenna, ITALY

         2021).

​​​

           Since 2022 he has undertaken a research towards site-specific performance

            proposals, to be created together with local communities.

    We remember FNAS LAB 2022 (Castelbuono, Palermo - with Firenza Guidi), the experience of the informal collective "A.L.F. Teatri Urbani" (Torino Fringe Festival 2023) and FNAS LAB 2023  (Castelbuono, Palermo - with the artistic coordination of Caterina Moroni).

 

   Over the years, he has always continued to train professionally on topics ranging from clown to “commedia dell’arte”, from the use of the voice to dramaturgy, from puppetry to music.
