Breaking Boundaries
Convergence, Collaboration and Integration
Breaking Boundaries is a spectacle involving sculptures, dancers, sound and projections, exploring themes of crossing cultural, scientific, artistic and interpersonal boundaries. The work being created by the UK based artists Melissa Pierce Murray and Diana Scarborough, in collaboration with the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), ad hoc for the opening of Passion for Knowledge 2016.
The project has also the collaboration of Dantzagunea, and through this institution of the resident company Dantzaz, to which the professional dancers featured in the spectacle belong.

The evolution of the universe has generated more and more complex forms of matter through self-organization, from particles up to living and thinking matter. Self-organization is the process by which steps towards life and thought have emerged. Animate as well as inanimate matter, living organisms as well as materials, are formed of molecules and of the organized entities resulting from the interaction of molecules with each other. Chemistry provides the bridge and unravels the steps from the molecules of inanimate matter and the highly complex molecular architectures and systems which make up living and thinking organisms. The field of chemistry is the universe of all possible structures and transformations of molecular matter, of which those actually realized in nature represent just one world among all the worlds that await to be created. Conceptual considerations on science in general will be presented.
