'A border defines. It structures space by establishing a point of reference that immediately and consequently positions people and objects in relation to itself. To stand on this or that side of the border is to either physically perform your belonging within a community or to trespass into another.' (Servera and Young, 2011. P.10)
Borderland dramaturgy considers borders as dynamic, lived experiences rather than fixed lines. As both a scholarly field and creative practice, it explores how theatre and performance address tensions, negotiations, and hybridities at cultural intersections. These border spaces, whether geographical, linguistic, cultural, or psychological, reveal how individuals and communities experience belonging, exclusion, and transformation.
