Borders.
Division and belonging.
The inclusion, the exclusion.
The creation, the destruction.
“These Arbitrary Borders” is an exploration of the various human-imposed borders in local, national and global situations, and their ramifications at the nexus of environment and society, and on the “more-than-human”.
Using the structure of Greek tragedy and poignantly told through ballet, the story is one of catharsis, sadness and hope, enhanced by the immersive quality of audio-visual technology.
Both a learning experience and an engaging narrative, “These Arbitrary Borders” is equally for the child, the intellectual, the artist, and the everyday person.
