Instabili Vaganti theatre company crosses other frontiers
Instabili Vaganti theatre company has been able to reassess –in the midst of a pandemic– its approach to creative work experimenting new formats and new languages through an innovative ‘remote collaboration’ with artists from around the world. It's the project “Beyond Borders”, which combines theatre, dance, literature, visual and digital arts to create intercultural and interdisciplinary video-performances.
Since last Spring, Anna Dora Dorno and Nicola Pianzola has worked with Ali Shams and Danial Kheirkhah, of the Don Quixotte theatre company, developing the eight episodes of the web series 8 e ½ Theatre Clips, from an idea by the Embassy of Italy in Teheran and Instabili Vaganti to create a joint Italian-Iranian production on a theme of universal significance today: the tragic change the pandemic made to our daily life.
On February 4th, the last episode –dealing with the delicate issue of vaccines and also, and above all, with the importance of art and culture in this difficult moment– will be posted online.
On February 3rd, start of Video Dante, web series produced by the Italian Cultural Institute in New Dehli and ‘remotely’ created with Indian classical dancer Anuradha Venkataraman, in co-operation with Culture Monks.
Video Dante is a seven-episode project celebrating the 700th anniversary of the death of il Sommo Poeta. It draws inspiration from his work –the Divine Comedy, in particular– and from the relationship between East and West in Dante’s literary oeuvre.
On February 11th, outset of the series SIE7E, generated from the encounter between Instabili Vaganti and Spanish collective Cross Border, in collaboration with Teatro de La Abadía, produced by the Italian Cultural Institute in Madrid.
The series wants to exalt the constant search for beauty and the ability to generate a poetic universe, a contagious and vital hymn common to all disciplines and able to transcend any barrier and difference of language, religion, genre.
SIE7E will explore the seven arts in seven episodes that will run through April.
The New Silk Road is the title of the three-episode web series made in co-operation with three young Chines artists –Ialan Cai, Yike, Yuwei Jiang, and produced by the Italian Cultural Institute in Beijing.
A performative journey through dance, cinema, and theatre Anna Dora and Nicola will tell us soon.
