"It might have been weird on many levels that I chose dance in a country that was coming out of a civil war, destruction, death, and loss. However, dance at the time seemed to be the most revolutionary, the most provocative, and the most confrontational." Omar Rajeh

A new solo creation choreographed and performed by Omar Rajeh, where he takes us into his dance and the autobiographical universe, looking into the ‘performance’ as an act of gathering and shared experience. The dancing body creates its own rules, its own structure, and its own inspirations, as an act of hope, in opposition to structures of power that diminish such dynamics towards an act of normality and fear.

A 50-minute solo contemporary dance performance by a choreographer and dancer, Omar Rajeh.

Date: 18, 20, 25, 26, and 27 of May at Sima Performing Arts Theater. Omar Rajeh is the founder of Maqamat Dance Company and Beirut International Platform of Dance ( BIPOD).

Doors open 19:30 and Show starts 20:00
