«Balkan Ballerinas»
(Romania)
Thursday July 23rd 2026 | 21:30
"Mikis Theodorakis" Theatre
Balkan Ballerinas is a performance that aims to question the boundaries of the body by relating to Eastern European and Balkan identity. Inspired by stigmas and identity stereotypes created by the West and projected onto the Balkans, the performance conducts an analysis of Balkan culture. The body is portrayed as a transition zone, between two instances - pride and shame, past and present, folklore and rave, ballet and manele (Romanian pop-folk music). Starting from the concepts of Balkanism and post-communism, the performance investigates a reactive body that challenges prejudices, normative models, and geographical, political and cultural boundaries.
