Dance is not for us

Omar Rajeh / Maqamat
France - Lebanon

12th January 24 • h. 8.30 pm

Teatro Palladium

TICKET

A new solo creation choreographed and performed by Omar Rajeh, which takes us into his autobiographical universe, looking at “performance” as an act of aggregation 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 the power structures that discipline and normalize it. Omar Rajeh travels into the past, an intimate time that no longer exists, a faded and deceptive image. A past that has not moved into a future, but has stopped. The images, the meanings, the feelings, the people, the happy moments, everything froze. As if today’s story didn’t match the memories of his life.
