BORDERS _ the roots >
.... every day on planet earth thousands of people move from one country to another. A constant, chaotic and continous stream of bodies on the move. For many of them this "moving” is not a choice: some are escaping from war, some begin a journey to try and survive...

To move from place to place many borders have to be crossed... these places – or non/places – are a symbol of our times... where this stream of bodies – with their dreams, uthopias and tragedies – takes a few everlasting moments of break before gettin on the move again...
For many people border lines are a “moment” – that can really last long – of suspension between before and after, a crossing point...
Maybe a passage to a new life,
An extreme point, extreme as birth and death can be.

BORDERS … water, tv sets, shoes, plastic... wars, seas, noises, voices, city... images... visions... bdies in action... frailty and strenght...
Borders, a Margine Operativo performance, proceeeds taking steps. Each step is a frame/fragment, each fragment is autonomous, independent but at the same time strongly connected to the others.
Borders by is by choice adapted to the physical space of interaction, transforming it and transforming itself.

Borders is a multishaped and multiple action/being on the move, made by the interaction and interference of different elemnts that are present with the same intensity: bodies, voices, sound scapes, video streams, installations, natural elements and the spectators.
Borders tells of fronteers that have to be crossed through borderlines between different artistic languages... theatre, dance, visual arts, hybrid languages, that cross and permeate one another, crossed languages to tell about a world made of many worlds, an thus, even in its tragedy, wonderful...
