Triple Bill: Muhanad Rasheed / Ahmed Khemis / Salah El Brogy April 29, 2010

This performance is part of our Outspoken weekend of new performance from Arab artists, curated by Eckhard Thiemann.

Muhanad Rasheed – Iraqi Bodies (Iraq), Crying for my Mother
Deeply influenced by the company members’ lives in Iraq, Crying for my Mother has a dramatic and epic quality with high physicality, strong lighting and a powerful soundtrack.

Ahmed Khemis (Algeria, Tunisia, France), Voyages de Poussières (Voyage of Dust)
This solo is a physically charged expression of longing and the quest for a new life, based on Ahmed’s relationship with, and the early death of, his father.

Salah El Brogy (Egypt), Adrenalin
Pent up with conflicting emotions and sensations, Adrenalin shows a person on the brink of explosion. “The blood rushes to my head and sweat runs down my face – the desire to express my thoughts and demand my rights remains…unheard.”

AGE GUIDANCE: 14+
