A Physical Engagement with Boundaries, Respect, and Self-Determination

Dance Theater Performance in Jena

With „The Body as Boundary“, Maya N. Gomez presents a dance theater performance in the theater hall of the Freie Bühne Jena at the cultural slaughterhouse. The work addresses prejudices, discrimination, and the significance of the word “No”.

The focus is on the body as a personal, social, and possibly also political boundary space. Dance theater offers a nonverbal perspective on experiences that are often overlooked, suppressed, or not expressed in everyday life. Movements, postures, and physical presence can make visible how boundaries are perceived, crossed, or defended.

The performance invites reflection on the handling of prejudices and discrimination. At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of a clear “No”. The word represents self-determination, delineation, and the recognition of personal boundaries. The artistic engagement thus highlights a theme that is socially relevant and of great importance in interpersonal interactions.
