Gabriel Da Costa
 
Gabriel Da Costa is of Franco-Portuguese origin. And has never managed to choose a European country in which to live. Settled temporarily in Belgium. Received his diploma from the Institut National Supérieur des Arts du Spectacle et des Techniques de Diffusion (INSAS) in Brussels. Was an actor for, among others, Falk Richter, Emma Dante, Matthew Lenton, Ricci/Forte, Ingrid Von Wantoch-Rekowski, Sophie Maillard, Tatjana Pessoa, Caspar Langhoff, Daniel Barenboim, Wim Vandekeybus, Frédéric Fonteyne. Wrote and put on performances by Etal Urbain (Brussels Bravo Festival, 2012) and Comida (Théâtre Les Tanneurs – Brussels, 2013). Became a founding member, co-director and artist within the Collectif Novae in Brussels, which shows performances, films and video installations in Belgium and abroad. Wants to contrast, but also blend, theatre with other mediums (cinema, art installations, IT) and likes to observe the results of this friction, but has no patience with computers.

Luca Carboni was born in Bologna. Has always dreamt of no longer living in Italy. Realised his dream some years ago. Lives today in Brussels.
Received his diploma at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, under the direction of Luca Ronconi. Was an actor for, among others, Luca Ronconi, Arthur Nauzyciel, Massimo Castri, Matthew Lenton, Tatjana Pessoa, Peter Stein and Silvio Soldini. Was president, active member and actor at the theatre company Gli Incauti from 2009 to 2015. Became a member of Saveria Project, a collective founded in Bologna which promotes and produces contemporary artistic works in Italy and abroad.
Started a new career in 2010: working with images. Compares this new career to that of creator and actor. Trained in video art, photography, special effects, editing and the digital management of visual streams for the stage, notably with Studio Azzurro in Milan and iMAL in Brussels.
His work gradually developed at the intersection of theatre, performance, cinema and installation, with a particular interest in the way images construct our relationship to reality, memory and the world around us. His creations include The Blink Experiment, The Anatomy of Future Nostalgia, Sorry We Left the Party Early, Get Your Shit Together, La Chambre de Remo and Le Grand Bordel National, as well as video creations for theatre and performance.
Since 2022, he has been developing Projet SexualitéS, a hybrid project between theatre and video based on workshops with non-professional participants of different generations, exploring how social and historical contexts shape intimacy, desire and relationships.
In recent years, his practice has increasingly shifted towards cinema, writing and directing. In 2025–2026, he trained as an audiovisual director at IFAPME in Liège. He wrote, the short film Hôtel Désir, and he is collaborating to the production of the documentary: La Gillette, histoire d’un costume. He also continues to create music clips and video performances with several artists.
His work today moves between fiction, documentary, and video performance, pursuing the same fascination with bodies, images, technology and the ways in which they shape our perception of reality.
