Andrea Catozzi: Making One’s Existence a Work of Art

Self-taught, he gracefully combines urban acrobatics with dance, creating mesmerizing performances. In addition, he is also an actor and filmmaker. Andrea Catozzi’s compelling technique is based on capoeira, a martial art founded by Afro-Brazilians early in the 16th century that is protected with an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity status by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
