# Border Bodies

A plurality of bodies beyond their visible social markers. Despite their diverse backgrounds artists unite believing that even different individualities empower each other when they act as one. In times of social segregation, we deal with a crossing of the mental boundaries and not just the physical ones. Border Bodies desires to acknowledge the portrait of humanity: collective, clustered, seeking interactions and associations. In the midst of the silence of distancing, we rediscover and invent ways of being together. On stage, hierarchies between social roles are tested, questioned and reorganized. The show is part of São Paulo Showcase.
