BORDER·S — UNSTABLE SITUATIONS
CREATION 2026...
Border.s / Unstable Situations is a new creation exploring geographical, political and intimate borders through a poetic text by Caroline Masini. Inspired by ancient myths and contemporary migration movements, the performance imagines a world where maps dissolve, landmarks disappear, and walking becomes an act of resistance and reinvention.
Made up of mobile architectural modules, rods, veils, projected images and puppets, the scenography is in constant transformation, giving rise to unstable landscapes: straits, walls, seas, camps, ruins and forests. The objects never represent a single place; instead, they become the elements of a cartography in perpetual recomposition.
Blending visual theatre, performance and installation, Border.s offers a sensory experience in which the body, matter and the act of naming participate in inventing new ways of inhabiting the world.
There, behind the window,
unknown silhouettes
watch the flame
caressing their faces
cross, cross the path
be a leaf, just a leaf
and twirl far away
There, beyond the river,
small scattered houses
on a hillside
gaze high at the stars
cross, cross the wave
be a boat, just a boat
and travel far away
to shores of sands
where unknown words bloom
cross the horizon on wing
and join the suns we haven't seen.
Cécile Oumhani
