Gazpacho Unlimited uses Performance as a way of research about the full possibilities of an encounter. Using the language of the absurd, physical theater, dance and live-art, Gazpacho is committed to do site-specific performances or works in conventional stages that address current issues of the social sphere, through poetic and personal lenses. Bruno Humberto and Borja Sagasti have been collaborating and doing works that have initially focused in theme of the human brain and its disorders.
The core members started to work together in 2007, at Goldsmiths College during the MA Performance Making; Since then, they developed performances as "From A to B", "The Parade of Mysteries and Illusions" and the acclaimed "2Divide", among others, having presented them in various spaces in UK and Abroad (Shunt Lounge, Arcola Theatre, Greenwich Dance Agency, Hackney Empire, Brighton Basement, Birmingham Pilot nights, Balleteatro of Oporto, Dublin Fringe Festival, AdriAntic Barcelona, among others), as well curating Seedbed performance platform at the Hackney Empire.

The Latest Crash (Shunt Vaults and Brick Box, London, 2010)
Gazpacho was commissioned to develop this site-specific performance at Shunt and later at Brick Box, Brixton Village market .
During the recent economic crisis, a lot of people have faced the worst of their fears, losing everything; their job, their car, their home, the commodity of a wealthy style of life... Two business men meet in the middle of the market and have to escape fear through brave exercises. Things can only get worse. The latest crash explores pessimism of all kinds through absurd theatre and imaginary circus.

2 divide
“One, two. Are you there?” This performance explores division and bipolarity. Division within ourselves, division between me and you, between us and them. Bipolarity as our contemporary syndrome, between left and right, North and South, East and West. 2 Divide is about the lack of unity and the tendency to create conflict that can happen in our own brain or in a war field. Absurd, personal and mythological narratives come together through the languages of physical theatre, sound and installation.
