FUNDarte presents

RESET by Alfonso Barón, Luciano Cortés, and Luciano Rosso

In RESET, performers Alfonso Barón, Luciano Cortés, and Luciano Rosso construct a theatrical experience in which the body appears as the last truly human territory. Through physical theater, extreme gesture, absurdist humor, and hypnotic choreographic precision, the work offers an unsettling reflection on the personal and collective restarts that define our era.
The word «reset» immediately calls to mind technological logic: powering off to start over, erasing errors, rebooting saturated systems. But the piece transforms that computational idea into an existential metaphor. The bodies of the three performers seem trapped in behavioral loops, in routines that repeat and evolve, as if all of humanity were attempting to reprogram itself after each crisis. The stage becomes a kind of human laboratory where movement reveals both the fragility and the persistence of our species.

At a time when AI is redefining work, communication, and even creativity, RESET proposes a resistance rooted in the body. Where technology promises efficiency, the performers exhibit error, exhaustion, breath, and vulnerability. The body fails, sweats, comes apart, and begins again. And it is precisely in that imperfection that something profoundly human emerges.
The visual proposition is amplified by the set design and costumes of Celia Ledón, which construct an ambiguous space between the industrial, the futuristic, and the human, reinforcing the sensation of standing before a world in constant mutation.
