Grupo Krapp
The company
Founded by Luis Biasotto and Luciana Acuña in 2000, Grupo Krapp, recognized with the Konex Prize, is considered one of the most relevant dance companies in Buenos Aires thanks to their permanent search for new forms of corporal expression, and the heterogeneity of their artists.
Their characteristic work has been presented in theaters and festivals in Argentina, Latin America, USA and Europe. In 2013, the Centro Cultural San Martín held a reflection looking back onto the company’s work, as well as conferences and round tables with important choreographers and dancers of local contemporary dance.

Requiem, la última cinta del grupo Krapp
By Grupo Krapp company | Directed by: Luciana Acuña
- Argentina
- Spanish
- 70 minutes
- + 12 years
The Argentine Grupo Krapp company premieres in Chile their piece Requiem: The last film by Grupo Krapp, an anthology of songs from the collective's repertoire, presented as a performative concert. A finale; perhaps a legacy or a requiem.
A performative concert that merges the 21 years of experience of the Argentine dance, theater and music company Grupo Krapp. The requiem commemorates one of its members and founders, Luis Biasotto, who passed away in May 2021 due to COVID.
More than a tribute, Réquiem, la última cinta del grupo Krapp, seeks to be a project made in conjunction with the late director; a drunken, screaming song and a toast to friendship.
Tinged by mourning, the concert rises from a process of acceptance and reformulation. Seeking to give rituality to their loss, the Krapp Group presents this piece as a way to look to the future, after their mind was bombarded with questions such as: Why should we continue when one of our directors is gone? How to continue doing theater or dance in the present and survive the shock?
This requiem is mourning as much as it is a rebirth.
"Today the day has come! We will blow up all of Krapp's pieces and put together the fragments into a new piece: a performative concert. This is not a tribute to the one lost, but a piece of work made along with him. An improbable piece between life and death. Perhaps a new way of being together. As before, as always", as stated by the company.
