Production Details / Press Releases
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.
