Applied Theatre
BODIES, BORDERS, POROSITY
- SZENE Salzburg
Where does a body begin – and where does it end? Where do borders appear, and where do they become permeable? What becomes visible when these perspectives meet? Which bodies and which borders resist definition? What remains fluid, unstable, or open?
Through encounters with people in Salzburg, different perspectives on bodily and territorial limits emerge, ranging from sex workers and athletes to religious, esoteric, and agnostic individuals, as well as members of the Liefering neighbourhood near the Federal border and migrant communities.
From this polyvocal perspective, gestures of protest and possibilities for change transpire, imagining bodies and borders not as fixed lines, but as shifting, permeable spaces through which life can move and breathe.
This project is the fifth cooperation between the SOMMERSZENE and the Master's program Applied Theatre – Critical Theatre Practice & Community of the Thomas Bernhard Institute at the Mozarteum University.
