Dance guest performance: Borda

There are many borders in the world: geographical, political, social and personal. Borders separate the known from the unknown, the familiar from the foreign, the self from the you. Sometimes borders are fences, walls, rivers or oceans. Borders can be hidden in words, looks or beliefs. Borders are often defended, sometimes they are torn down. And sometimes borders shift without us even realizing it. The dance piece Borda is about overcoming all the visible and invisible boundaries that surround us. Lia Rodrigues and the dancers in her Companhia de Danças create a boundless space in between on stage. A space in which opposites meet and new things emerge. Because borders are made by people - and that is precisely why we can change them. Borda celebrates coming together and celebrates the unique power of community.
