The moment of rapture in which body and music unite is called “tarab” in Arabic. Choreographer Ulduz Ahmadzadeh focuses on unexplored and forbidden dances of the pre-Islamic Middle Eastern cultural heritage. Accompanied by percussion rhythms, seven dancers embody millennia-old movement material and let it enter into dialogue with contemporary dance language, without shying away from the colonial dynamics between the two.

This event on 12.3. can be combined with “Ouroboros” by Adham Hafez / HaRaKa Platform at 17:00.
