Beyond Borders Workshop: Boundaries of Freedom
Work session and artistic residency
International Project Beyond Borders
Directed by Instabili Vaganti
The workshop sessions at La MaMa are cultural exchange and co-creation with residency of the International Project: Beyond Borders, under the direction of renowned Italian theatre company Instabili Vaganti.
During these hands-on sessions, participants will share an artistic reflection on the concept of “Border,” broadly understood (geographical, political, social, gender, interpersonal…), with the common aim of developing new strategies to overcome “borders” through processes of artistic creation on a global level.
The work will focus on theatre and performing arts as active tools of social intervention and, at the same time, as means of expression of the performer’s creative freedom. During the sessions, the participants will be invited to inhabit the “theatrical space” and explore its metaphysical/political dimension.
