This talk explores Frontera Flotante, a cross-cultural theatre lab bridging Peru and the US. Tracing a path from research into Latin American ensemble traditions to creating new work in Lima, Lillian reflects on how performance transforms “home” into a dynamic stage. Through cuerpo-objeto (body-object relationships), invisible borders, and imagination’s role in survival and resistance, the talk invites audiences into the ephemeral, rapid, and rigorous world of Frontera Flotante. Centering creative exchange within the uneven terrain of cross-border collaboration, it considers collaborative creation, the politics of place, and the power of performance—locating the global in the everyday and the political in the personal. The talk invites shared reflection through questions woven throughout.

Lillian White is a director and creative producer working between the U.S. and Peru. Based in Lima, she co-leads the collective Frontera Flotante and produces for Ministerio de la Belleza. A former Julie Taymor World Theatre Fellow and Assembly Theatre Deceleration Lab member, her work has been presented at El Cultural (Trujillo), The Museum of Memory, Tolerance & Social Inclusion (Lima), Burning Coal Theatre, Dixon Place, and HERE Arts Center (USA), and more.
