What happens when choreographers bring intimate topics on a theater stage? In this paper, I discuss the publicization of intimacy, departing from European contemporary dance plays that figure love, sexuality, pornography and gender issues (Mette Ingvartsen, Doris Uhlich). This externalisation of the private sphere into the public area leads performers and audience to share an intimate experience. How does it affect performers’ bodies to embody such intimacies? And what does it mean for the audience to be invited to testimony the intimacy of others? These questions will allow us to discuss the notion of intimacy on a more conceptual dimension, etymologically and historically. I argue that since an intimate zone is present in every culture, the boundaries of this sphere are flexible and negotiable, also within a culture.
