The piece questions the idea of narcissism: how much narcissism is there in an individual and society? To what extent is it a part of our everyday lives? The ego has made itself too comfortable in human beings and has long convinced us it is our identity. A frame is setting limits. Taking stock. Defining the territory. But, paradoxically, a frame is also the space of observable freedom. The freedom which invites us to look into its eyes. To conquer the fear, to silence the raging ego.
Borna Babić is a dancer from Rijeka, Croatia, who graduated from the highly acclaimed Codarts Rotterdam Dance Academy in the Netherlands. For the past several years, he has been dancing with the world-famous dance company Ultima Vez / Wim Vandekeybus from Bruxelles, Belgium.
