Performing to the evocative old songs of Egyptian singers and composed tracks of Egyptian politicians’ speeches; a solo dancer exposes the fractured and toxic relationship of Egypt and its rulers, politicians and Egyptian people as he delves into the complexity of his love for the country in an attempt to reconcile patriotism with disillusionment, and light of hope with darkness of oppression.
The performance shines a light on the performer’s deep rooted connection to his memory of The Egyptian revolution and suggests the power of what hope may do.
Poetic and passionate, MANEATER… has an intricate physicality, Egyptian folk dance and is unashamedly romantic in its celebration of loving Egypt.
