PLAZA

—

Plaza is an imaginary public square where various groups of people gather. In numerous ways, encounters between these groups occur at this location, driven by disagreement, mistrust, and ignorance as well as curiosity and care.

The piece addresses differences and established categorizations while simultaneously seeking ways to break through them. Stereotypes are revealed, deconstructed, and interwoven in an attempt to make nuances visible. This interweaving creates new social constellations that lead to the exploration of commonality and ultimately unity.

Plaza is a collage of diverse styles and realities that choreographically examines identity, belonging, and coexistence.
