What kind of penetration is needed to form relationships beyond our conditioned selves? 

 

BEYOND by Can Bora and Ufuk Senel explores the politics of desire and the poetics of relationships. Drawing inspiration from traditional Turkish oil wrestling, known for its homoerotic undertones, the performance elevates the act of tactility to a central theme.  BEYOND maps a landscape of desire shaped by the tensions between fiction and reality, nakedness and nudity, tradition, and utopia.

​

Through their movements, two men challenge physical, cultural, and social boundaries, questioning norms and exploring new ways of connecting. How can we discover new forms of communication and touch that don’t yet exist but could?

 

BEYOND invites us to rethink intimacy and connection in transformative ways.
