MAPS
by SIVAN RUBINSTEINphysical-theatre-and-circus, dance
A dance inspired by the theatre of the world,
about the production
MAPS is dance inspired by the theatre of the world, which explores a desired world without borders. All maps are a snapshot in time, a fixed interpretation of our world, unable to capture the ebb and flow of people, places and politics. MAPS is a dance piece considering the world map through its constantly changing nature, as a moveable image and a portrait of how globalization and freedom of information has broken our understanding of borders. In collaboration with Dr Sarah Fine of Kings College London, Cartographer Yehuda Rubinstein and 50kgs of salt, MAPS takes the antique map of the world
