Barcelona’s OSADIA are returning to WOMADelaide in 2015 ready to transform daring audience volunteers into surreal and towering living art sculptures of hair and makeup.
But… what is is Osadia, you ask? I’ll tell you.
Osadia is a street theatre company formed in Barcelona, Spain in 1996 by multifaceted hairdresser, make-up artist and performer, Alex Rendon. They create original and provocative exhibitions of sophisticated makeup and hair art, set to fantastic music mixes.

The company offers an original and provocative exhibition of hair art with the active participation of the audience, who are seduced by the theatrical appearance of the performers and the sophisticated, imaginative nature of the hairdressing show.
Crowds gather around and remain glued to the artistic hairdressers performance onstage, either through curiosity and a sense of wonder, or motivated by a desire to participate. Volunteers freely allow the artists to create daring and evocative makeovers, to the delight and awe of onlookers.
Osadia’s transformations extend to the new way the volunteers act after the performance, for now they are the centre of attention and continue to be so throughout the day. Their artistic hairdos will be photographed wherever they go. These new ephemeral creatures ensure the show continues, acting as a visual reminder of the performance.
Osadia’s transformations can take place in street theatre festivals, public squares, parks, festival grounds, on the street, at indoor events or at shopping centres. But in 2015, at WOMADelaide.
