OSADÍA

Hairdressing becomes theatre with Osadia!

Osadía ("Audacity" in Spanish) is a street theatre company formed in Barcelona, Spain in 1966 by artist Alex Rendon and featuring hair art.

Osadia perform an innovative concept of hair art. Artists actively seek the audience participation - by asking for volunteers to have their hair 'done'. Each volunteer is invited to take a seat and let the artists use their imagination, creating daring and original hairstyles.

They also use various objects which have been made for the event, and these are placed on the heads of the participants. The head sculptures are inspired in the theme of the festival or event. Once finished, the ‘creation’ is a visual reminder of the event.
