Made in ILVA is a masterpiece of physical theatre exploring the impact of the biggest steelworks in Europe on the environment and surrounding population.
Made in ILVA is an innovative example of “contemporary bio-mechanics”, an emotional and poetic exploration of the condition of alienation and oppression of a human body reduced to an artificial machine. The performance is a perfect combination of extreme physical actions, sounds that become obsessive rhythms, original music, vocals and video projections. From an original script based on real life testimonies and poems from the workers at the ILVA steel plant in Taranto, the scene for the steelworks scandal. ILVA of Taranto is the biggest steelworks in Europe. The company has been accused of its factory emitting 90% of the total dioxins released into the Italian air and of causing 180 workplace deaths, the disablement of 8,000 and in 20,000 further deaths from cancer and leukemia.
The performance is a perfect combination of extreme physical actions, sounds that become obsessive rhythms, original music, live voice and video projections. A critic to the impact of the factory on the environment expressed through the visual and physical theatre of this world touring ensemble.
Nicola Pinnazola is the sole performer of Made in ILVA supported by Anna Dora Dorno.. Directed by Anna Dora Dorno. The original score from Riccardo Nanni, one of the composers of the soundtrack of the Oscar-winning film The Great Beauty.

"A performance of rare perfection"- Gazette of Parma
"A work of huge mastery… universal.” - Halland Posten - Göteborg
“Nicola Pianzola is the solo physical performer of Made in ILVA – The Contemporary Hermit and his exuberant and contorted display is as breath taking as it is passionate.” - TV Bomb
“The performance voices many important issues that are all too easily forgotten about, and does so in a thought provoking and innovative way.” – The Public Reviews
“When one man can command the intensity of the theatrical experience just by flexing his sinewy muscles, we must find ourselves at the Parnassian peak of physical theater. Nicola Pianzola, of the experimental Instabili Vaganti company of Bologna, is just that man, & his hour of incantation-like speech & gymnastic movements is nothing but a piece of perfect drama “ – Summerhall, UK.
