About this event
- Event lasts 1 hour
Join us for a vibrant conversation with two dynamic performers from very different worlds — one rooted in theatre and screen, the other in drag, music, and nightlife. Together, they’ll unpack the thrill and unpredictability of performing live, the art of connecting with a crowd, and the vulnerability that comes with stepping into the spotlight.
Whether you’re a performer, a fan of the stage, or just curious about what really happens when the curtain rises — this is a behind-the-scenes look at live performance you won’t want to miss.
Meet : Víctor Arcturus
Víctor Arcturus is a Dominican actor, writer, theatre maker, and interdisciplinary artist. He is a Royal Central School of Speech and Drama graduate and a Berlinale Talents alumnus. He is part of the Teatro Utopía ensemble, where he has devised, produced, and starred in various plays that have been featured in multiple international theatre festivals. His performance practise comprises physical theatre, masks, improv, and acting for screen. He improvises with the groups The Victor, Improbotics, Fulano, and regularly guests at Do the Right Scene. He has starred in various short films that have been screened at festivals such as the New Orleans FF, Miami FF, FICG, and Outfest. He wrote and starred in the award-winning short film ZEMI (2023) and the experimental solo show BREAKBONE (2024) based on his first poem collection. His short stories have been awarded and anthologised on several occasions in the Dominican Republic.
Meet : Gianmarco Coccia
Gianmarco Coccia is a hairdresser by day and a vibrant drag performer by night, known for blending glamour, humour, and heart. After opening his own studio three and a half years ago, he reignited his love for the stage — a passion rooted in organising shows in his Italian village. Since returning to performance, Gianmarco hasn’t stopped: he sings, dances, and now brings comedy into his act thanks to improv training. 2025 marks a major milestone as he debuts his first show, Bibbidi Bobbidi YAAAS!, a magical mix of camp, chaos, and creativity.
