Sotterraneo was born in 2005. To celebrate this anniversary, DJ Show will be staged in an ad-hoc edition in 2025, a birthday that goes from city to city tracing the group's imagination and the era in which it developed.

DJ Show is a performance with a clear, seemingly simple objective: to make an audience dance within a dramaturgy. A playlist of songs from all genres and eras is interspersed with quick actions, short texts and passing visions, with the idea of staging an intermediate experiment between DJ set and theatre where the real spectacle is the dancing audience, where the structure is there but is designed to derail into the group's epidermal ritual, where fun does not distract and thought does not interrupt the party, on the contrary: everything is mixed through the emulsifier of music. The question becomes: can one mix instinctive musical vibration and complex cognitive stimulation? If the answer is yes: in this experiment, we will vibrate together to the notes of some of the thoughts, woes and anxieties of our time. If the answer is no: well, in this experiment we will remove some of the toxins, letting the individual anxieties and collective neuroses of these years slide to the ground in sweat.
