Shows

This artistic endeavour thrives on profound friendships and a deep-rooted passion for improvisation. Each performance revolves around a specific theme that resonates strongly during the creative process. For this year’s Impronale, the central theme revolves around relationships and spaces, providing the overarching framework for „Life. Refabricated.“ The performance might also be influenced by other factors, events, happenings, work, encounters, relations at the festival.
As the artists perform, they not only reflect upon the chosen theme, but also introspect on the act of performing itself, their connection with the audience, the stage as a medium, and the very essence of life. By employing the art of performance, they offer a unique opportunity to contemplate the profound connections between the theme, the act of performing, and life itself.
Life. Refabricated. promises to be an exquisite sensory experience, encompassing sight, sound, space, light, touch, and occasionally even the evocative scent of the performance. Life is way too wondrous not to experience it in many different ways!
