Coazione IV

The borders of a urban society, ever more globalized, and the discards of a metropolis, ever more excluding, are staged and performed in search of “imagin-actions”, intended as way to give voice to “a minor humanity”, people who are considered and created as minor ones: pushed to the borders, counted as minority and deprived.
