‘The body is a sacred place, because it bursts with life, and lasts briefly’
– Etel Adnan
the body symphonic (2024) is a solo performance – concert that observes the
body as a site of resistance, an engaged body which journeys through rituals of excavation – revealing new and unbound mythologies and allowing for a limitless agency of self-representation and rootedness.
Created in response to the multiple political and geopolitical crises in Lebanon –
this work is a meditation on the body’s place in the struggle against occupation,
where looking back , looking in and forward become strategies of steadfastness
and liberation.
The body is a site of being.
It is matter that is shaped, deformed , that ascends and emerges.
It is a site of revolution, of oppression.
Of representation and mis-representation. Of wholeness and fragmentation.
It is the surface where ideas and action meet.
It is the container of manifestos, of traumas,
of unanswered questions and fragile answers.
The body has never crystallized.
It is always becoming.
Over and over again
the body symphonic was selected for the Aerowaves 2025, Spring Forward Festival
