The concept of this production was developed starting from the personal experience of the choreographer Ioana Marchidan during her years of training in ballet school, concerning the impact of body-shaming (harassment connected to physical appearance) in society. The production is inspired by the stories of those who wished to share their experience during the research stage. On the basis of these personal accounts, Mihaela Michailov has created texts that complement Ioana Marchidan’s choreographic discourse.

The production raises questions about the manner in which we relate to the body in art, in fashion, in the mass-media, in education, and within the family.
