The conference conceived by Instabili Vaganti introduces the spectator into the complex process that led the company to create the experimental theatre performance The Global City.
As retracing the stages of a contemporary Marco Polo, the author of the text and the director of the work guide listeners into the depths of their own ‘Global City’ – an invisible city made visible thanks to a process of evocation of memory and artistic transposition of memory. A city at the same time unreal and real, as composed of fragments of cities, numbered memories, recomposed in the dystopic map of a single global city.
During the conference, Anna Dora Dorno and Nicola Pianzola will show some video fragments of the performance and of the research stages of the project. They will also quote some passages from the book The Global City, edited by Cue press in 2020 and written by journalist and theatre critic Simina Maria Frigerio, who followed the whole process of research and production of the show.
