Founded in 2004 by the director/artist/performer Anna Dora Dorno and the playwright/performer Nicola Pianzola, Instabili Vaganti is a multidisciplinary artistic duo that focuses on an experimental on-going research in physical theatre and contemporary performing arts. Their performances have been translated into three languages and have been presented in Europe, Middle East, North Africa, Latin America and Asia, winning several awards, including the nomination to the Total Theatre Awards at the Edinburgh Fringe 2014 with the performance “MADE IN ILVA” and important acknowledgments such as the patronage of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 with their international project “Rags of memory” and the patronage of Amnesty International for the performance “Desaparecidos#43”. Instabili Vaganti represented the Italian theatre in important global contexts such as the Theater Olympics in India and the Year of Italy in Latin America, creating also international co-productions such as “The Global City” with the National Theater of Genoa and the Festival FIDAE in Uruguay.
The Global City is a metamorphic performance, in which the micro-stories collected by Instabili Vaganti in the major metropolis of the planet are artistically recomposed on stage, drawing a dystopian and virtual city made of memories. A planetary journey, in which the original multilingual text written by Nicola Pianzola deals with the highly topical issues experienced by the company in this restless wandering in difficult and with strong political tension countries (the Korean crisis, the class conflicts in the Indian sub-continent, the forced disappearances in Mexico, the problem of immigration); but it is also the story of a journey in countries and cultures that have always fascinated the traveler as well as the audience.
