the body symphonic is a performance – concert that observes the body as a site of resistance, an engaged this body which journeys through rituals of excavation – revealing new and unbound mythologies and allowing for a limit-less 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.
