SIE7E_Episode 7

The seventh episode of the web series SIE7E dives into the beating heart of theatre, where fiction and reality merge in an archaic and collective ritual. Through a dreamlike and fragmented visual language, Instabili Vaganti leads us on a journey into theatre as a space of possibility, a liminal place between who we are and who we might become.

The performer becomes a medium, the body turns into an archive of memories and resistance, while the voice breaks and regenerates between echoes of the past and the urgency of the present. Ritual scenes, masks, codified gestures, and citations alternate in a poetic and visionary flow that evokes physical theatre, contemporary performance, and ancient theatrical rites.

This episode is a love letter to the art of theatre, but also a political and poetic reflection on the role of the artist in a world in crisis. Theatre not as entertainment, but as a necessary act — a space for resistance, creation, and transformation.

The video was created by the artistic duo Instabili Vaganti, with the collaboration of the theatre company Cross border.

Theatre is the seventh episode of the web series SIE7E, a project that aims to explore the various expressions of arts through the long-distance collaboration of Italian and Spanish artists. Its goal is to convey the redemptive and salvific power of art and its intrinsic cathartic function, highlighting its constant pursuit of beauty and its ability to create a poetic universe. Furthermore, the work reflects the difficult historical moment we all experienced during COVID-19, not only in contemporary theater and dance but also in society as a whole.
