Experimental Theatre Company
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
