CONFINI is a performance about the migrations of the past, of the present and of the future, a work on the political, economic and industrial history of the European Union, a warning on the climate emergency and the future of humanity on Earth and in infinite space.
It’s a project started in 2018 and developed in the following two years through numerous residences in Italy and Luxembourg, in which Davide Sacco and Agata Tomšič / ErosAntEros met several collaborators, done researches and formed an artistic partnership with the Italian-Luxembourgish author Ian De Toffoli, entrusting him with the drafting of the text of the show. It’s a work that, due to its international and cross-border nature, has seen its debut postponed by a year due to the pandemic, but which has been able to rework this crisis within its creative process.
On stage performers of different languages and nationalities date back to the origins of European identity, going through a century of industrial revolutions, wars and economic crises. The actors embody the stories of ordinary people, Italians who have left their homeland to go and work in the mining basins of Northern Europe; but they also give voice to the political figures who have marked the milestones in the history of the European Union and to two coryphaeus that guide the spectators within this prismatic tale. A documentary theater, in which the small story of individuals dialogues with the great history, to project itself towards tomorrow and ask questions about today. A performance in which reality and fiction go hand in hand, bringing on stage testimonies of real people but also of humans from the future who have survived planetary catastrophes.
