Within Fixating Territories
Premiere July 2017, at 'Circle 1' Gallery, Berlin.
I limit myself with should and should not instructions, with right and wrong, permitted and forbidden, necessary and needless, profound and superficial, more and less, promoting and inhibiting, In and Out of trends, simple and special, fattening and slimming, much and less, beautiful and ugly, healthy and unhealthy, fascinating and boring, meaningful and insignificant, sufficient and lack.
'Within Fixating Territories' is an English solo piece adaptation of the piece 'Mixed- Media', and was created for the space of 'Circle 1' Gallery.
Throughout the performance Mica examines her fixating beliefs and tries to break through the social norms and social conditioning creating these beliefs. She is doing so by intervening with the audience- which functions as the voice of the Western society but also as individuals brainwashed by this same society.
Duration: 40 minutes.
Devised and performed by: Mica Dvir.

Within Fixating Territories
Premiere July 2017, Circle 1 Gallery, Berlin
"I limit my space with should and should not instructions, right and wrong, permitted and forbidden, necessary and needless, profound and superficial, more and less, promoting and inhibiting, In and Out of trends, simple and special, fattening and slimming, beautiful and ugly, healthy and unhealthy, fascinating and boring, meaningful and insignificant, sufficient and lack".
We surround ourselves with ideas and beliefs, with social norms and conditioning with concepts and rules that limit us and control our life.
We strive for being free but we live within defined conceptual boundaries regarding success, the right lifestyle, happiness, goals and achievements which dominate our mindset.
Throughout the piece the performer re-examines these fixed and fixating set of believes. She tries to understand what is the role of these believes in our life, why do we insist on keeping them, how our life would be once we are free of our limiting beliefs and whether it is possible at all.
