Amira Chebli A Ma Place

Post-revolutionary & multimedia dance from Tunisia.

Fri 26.10.2018
20:30

double bill w/ Danya Hammoud

Video images, voices and portraits of women intermingle onstage with the physical presence of the choreographer-dancer. In this way, Chebli tells about the anonymous female body that is confused and infused with culture and memories – a dream.
