What makes Mechorstra truly special is its innovative approach to choreography. The queer members of Scimm Dance Company were invited to create their own pieces to open the show. They draw inspiration from their personal journeys and experiences within the queer community. This collaborative process has birthed a performance that’s as authentic as it is artistic, resonating with themes of identity, love, relationships and the societal stigmas still faced by many within and outside the LGBTQIA+ community.
This performance is more than just a display of physical artistry; it celebrates the human spirit and the diverse narratives that shape our world. Whether it’s the poignant exploration of labels within the queer community or the universal themes of love and relationships, Mechorstra promises to deliver an experience that's as thought-provoking as it is visually stunning.
