SKIN ISSUES

Exploring the many dimensions and functionalities of skin. 

Gen Z has been introduced to the world through screens and digital experiences which had not been accessible to the previous generations. Tectility means something else to those who do not know the world prior to the techno-digital revolution. The skin is the largest organ in the body. It is the most quickly regenerated tissue in the body. The skin is one of the most significant materials in terms of interaction between an individual and the world as such.

The skin is made out of three layers, each with its unique role, purpose and significance. 

SKIN ISSUES addresses the potential challenges in interpersonal interaction and practices of empathy when the skin loses some of its significant functions in the curation of the human experience. 

SKIN ISSUES is made within the context of ilYoung which is ilDance’s junior company. The cast is an exciting mixture of eight Swedish and international young artists, each with a rich personal and artistic experience thus far but with the desire and passion to delve deeper into their practices as they refine their individuality and expression in the world.
