Mostra: On Display, by Maria Mora and Katja Butkovic

On Display, by Maria Mora and Katja Butkovic — Santanyí, 04/09/2026
On Display, created by Maria Mora and Katja Butkovic, is presented in progress as a dance-theater piece that offers a critical look at the role of the dancer. This show — scheduled for September 4, 2026, at A Sa Talaia (C/ Ses Pedreres, 10, Santanyí) — uses two female bodies to confront expectations and realities, questioning how the figure of the dancer is framed, approached, and consumed in the contemporary scene.
A work in progress
The piece, in its creation phase, allows the audience to witness a moment of artistic experimentation where forms, gestures, and conventions are played with. Through the interaction between the performers, On Display explores tensions between representation and experience, between the public image of the dancer and the personal experiences that sustain it. The piece works with the ambivalence between exhibition and vulnerability, inviting the viewer to rethink preconceived ideas about the moving body.
