the body symphonic is a 45 minute solo performance – concert that ob- serves the body as an archaeological space, and engages this body in rituals of excavation – revealing new and unbound mythologies – allowing for a limitless agency of self- representation and rootedness. Created in response to the multiple crises in Lebanon between 2019 – 2021 , this work is a meditation on the last few years, looking back , looking in and forward.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
