Description

Powerful antidotes to the brutality unfolding around us, traditional and contemporary Middle Eastern dances such as Dabkeh and Taa’kib become journeys through collective memory, forging bonds among those who still believe in our shared humanity. Tonight, the dancefloor belongs to everyone, transformed into a festive space to be claimed and shared. The raw emotion stirred by the melodies and rhythms of taarab spreads freely, building towards a kind of secular trance. In keeping with the principle of choreographic mimicry, workshops are offered to dance enthusiasts to learn the movements they will later pass on to the audience during the performances.
