Instabili Vaganti – The Global City in residency in Sweden

Two new artistic residences for the new production ”The Global City” by Instabili Vaganti: from 1th to 13th July at Tokalynga Teaterakademy (Atran) and from 15th to 20th July at IAC Inter Arts Center in Malmö. 

Among the texts that contributed to enrich the project’s concept, one stands out in particular: The Invisible cities by Italo Calvino. More than thirty years have passed since the author introduced the concept of ”megalopolis” as the urban model of the future. In our contemporary time, the megalopolis has emerged as an indispensable model, capable of shaping our identities and transforming us from local citizens into planetary citizens. Like the Marco Polo of the novel, we have embarked on a rigorous search for the purpose of recognizing, within our planetary identities, fragile human aspects that weave on the stubborn wires of memory, using the body language as a mediator of meeting and exchange.

During their international tours, Instabili Vaganti have been living and working in some of the biggest cities in the world and they have understood the important influence they he megalopolis have in the territory they belong to. From these megalopolis emerged common aspects, at the same time globalizing and uniform, so clear and recurring in a way that disoriented us. Places where the identity of a whole country mixed up, got lost and, at the same time, generated a cultural patterns return and a form of protection of traditions. Places affected by a “drama” born from the constant dialectic between innovation and cultural resistance, creation of opportunities and overwhelming competition, wish of success and depersonalization, market rules and survival, organic nature of the human being and inorganic nature of productive rhythm. In these cities the perception of the reality is confused, space and time dimensions seem to change. Voices, sounds, lights, advertisements, smells, flavors appear distorted like in a dystopian movie. Memory starts to build its own ”Global City”, made up of fragmented memories and micro stories we have gathered in the different countries.

Instabili Vaganti was founded in 2004 by the director Anna Dora Dorno and the actor Nicola Pianzola, the company focuses on an experimental ongoing research in physical theatre and performing arts. Instabili Vaganti works worldwide producing performances and directing projects collaborating with international artists, performers, musicians and video makers. The company is continuing research on the actor’s craft, developing a pedagogical work method valued all over the world and requested in many universities and theatre academies. In the view of the company the performer is one of the most important elements. Their presence is affirmed through their improved physical and vocal abilities, transforming their bodies in an instrument able to communicate with different artistic forms. A total theatre characterized by the organic flow of the action, the original dramaturgy and music, the contamination with new media and visual arts. A poetic work which is able to communicate strong, emotional, impacting messages. Since 2010 Instabili Vaganti has the artistic direction of the LIV Performing Arts Centre and the International Workshop Festival PerformAzioni.
