NAFAS (WT)
Invited to perform at the 25 years of Tanznacht Berlin, among 80 artists of the Berlin dance scene.
NAFAS (WT) (meaning breath in arabic), is connected to my first solo “the space between us”, where I explore the rhythm, breath, and bodily presence of protest slogans. In NAFAS (WT), I resort to the memory of the solo, constructing a fictional memory of the 2019 revolution protests in Beirut I used to watch on my phone, and exploring the body’s readiness to get up, to move and to join the collective movement after watching the videos and hearing the slogans.
In this piece I chose to perform three different versions of the same dance, three different protests of the same breath.
