Before this
by Lee Brummer and the cast of ilYoung 2022

This piece is inspired by the different stories of individuals; stories of loss, triumph, love, courage, life events and incidents which, when combined, all form the mosaic of both our personal lives and of our society as a whole.

Sometimes, not always
by Israel Aloni and the cast of ilYoung 2022

The work reflects on the notion of borders as such. It aspires to expand what is considered as part of a huWOman* being and sequentially, impact the way in which we interact with the world. The notion of borders, both physical and metaphysical, is inscribed in most perceptions of the world. To truly evolve in time, we might be required to experiment with physical and conceptual plasticity.

*HuWOman is a textual adaptation Aloni invented to place the woman within the reference to the human being and subvert the patriarchal power dynamics that still persist in our societies.
