Sinopsis

Obsessed with being able to start playing and representing different roles, a patient begins to participate in a theatre workshop called “Crearte”

Some fictional characters, like Dido from Aeneid written by Virgilio, or real people like  Valerie Solanas, who shot Andy Warhol, allow her to establish another time and space, awakening her affections, dreams, desires and the ability to imagine.

Her body and the different roles that she plays change her capacity of self-recognition and the limits between reality and fiction are being transgressed during the medical visits at the psychiatric hospital.

But when she arrived at that new land, something bigger started to blossom within her and her desires were swept by the river. 

Her boy, now a man, collects dreams and put them in a box to send them to his mother.”

Meeting between theatre and dance.

“No Border” is a dance and theater co-production which is a fusion of two existing performances: “Arcanum zero – when madness is on stage” (Ikarus Stage Arts | Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium- Odin Teatret) and “To be heard” (B’cause Dance Company). Both performances present a collage of different stories in which reality is blending with fiction. This performance is an experiment that tries to combine not only the forms of theater and dance, but also two parallel stories. It is a dialogue between different art forms, characters, means of expression, stories and people.
