Sometimes only a few steps are enough. It is not always a long journey to the other side of the world that allows us to discover new places and new routes; sometimes it is enough to lose ourselves for a moment in the city we have always called home. Looking out over hills that resemble the backs of prehistoric animals, with their gentle curves and rugged badlands scattered with whale fossils; imagining the passage of time and the events that shaped these landscapes; retracing the footsteps of travellers such as Goethe, who stopped here during his Grand Tour, or of the many women and men who crossed these places by chance or driven by a desire for knowledge and discovery.

Fuori Porta is a journey without moving, an immersive experience that invites the audience to travel through landscape with their eyes and imagination.

“The only rule of travel is: don't come back the way you went. Come back changed.”
— Anne Carson
