About this Event
Mood
Venue Type
With “The Body as Boundary”, Maya N. Gomez presents a dance performance about discrimination, identity, and the significance of saying no. The production examines the body as a personal and societal space of experience and questions how boundaries are perceived, established, and crossed.
The central theme is the engagement with the question of what it means to set boundaries. A no can be protection, self-determination, and expression of one's own identity. At the same time, it points to social situations in which physical, personal, or societal boundaries are not necessarily respected. The performance makes these tensions experientially tangible through dance.
Dance about Identity and Self-Determination
Maya N. Gomez connects movement and bodily expression with an engagement in content regarding discrimination. It is not just about visible boundaries, but also about the experiences that people have with attributions, exclusion, and the search for their own identity.
The production invites the audience to question their own view of bodies, intimacy, distance, and consent. The audience encounters a work that does not perceive no as mere refusal, but as a possible form of clarity and self-assertion. The body serves as a starting point for an artistic investigation of societal relationships.
