"This piece was created from the thoughts and life experiences of Tijuana as a border city. Fusing movement, projections, scenery, and original music from artists of Tijuana and San Diego, this collaboration is an expression of the stereotypes established from Mexico and the US. A border can be physical, emotional or mental - it is a real or imaginary line that limits or separates. The dancers of this piece however show that they are able throw away preconceived judgements to see if a border actually exists."
