English version: THEATRE INSIGHTS stories from Fabulamundi

How can you tell a European project like Fabulamundi on video? How can you tell the stories of our 120 authors and their thousands of texts? And of the hundreds of activities carried out to date?
We started from this question and chose 8 Fabulamundi authors, one for each partner country, to try to tell the project from their point of view. We have commissioned each author a text, a single act halfway between cinema and theater which, starting from an episode that really happened in the context of Fabulamundi, reflected their point of view on the project.
Eight different texts were born, which tell Fabulamundi from as many unpublished points of view. Eight autonomous scenes, linked to each other by a precise red thread: the theater. Even where the sequences are set elsewhere, all were shot in the theater, between stage, foyer and audience, creating a constant friction between reality and fiction. The “realistic” style of cinema uses the codes of theatrical fiction, in which the viewer “agrees to believe in a shared fiction”.
Between one scene and another, the word passes in the first person to our authors. Their direct testimonies are the trait d’union of a sequence of snapshots, with which to enter their creative process. What prompted them to write? What experiences have they lived, what is their vision of theater and of Europe?
