What if a gaze could linger without devouring?
In her solo performance GAZE, Flóra Boros subtly flirts with the audience, while constructing an asexual gaze in real time, offering a new way of looking. While the male gaze objectifies and the female gaze reclaims, the asexual gaze simply exists –unbothered, desexualized.
There is no sexuality without the body, but there is a body without sexuality.
GAZE engages with the choreographic language of Y2K, only to strip it down, and recontextualize it. It functions as a filter by desexualizing hypersexual movements, shifting their meaning through repetition, tenderness, as well as long and uncomfortable stares.
Flóra Boros (HU/AT) is an independent performing artist and choreographer based in Vienna and Budapest. Her works have been presented at venues such as Kaaitheater, WUK, Muffathalle, Theater Akzent and Schwere Reiter as well as various festivals. With her first solo performance CINDY, she received the START scholarship from the Austrian Ministry of Culture in 2022, as well as the ATLAS scholarship at ImPulsTanz festival. She completed her studies at the Music and Arts University of Vienna in 2021, with her thesis winning a scholarship from the City of Vienna, serving as theoretical research for CINDY. Her current artistic practice explores intimacy, liberation from a queer perspective, and the directing of the gaze to question how the body conveys embodied narratives beyond normative structures.
