DANCE
Told By My Mother - كما روتها أمّي
2021
Dance performance by Ali Chahrour
Music by Abed Kobeissy and Ali Hout (Two or The Dragon) and Hala Omran
The dance performance is anchored in genuine stories, intimate and heartfelt. Stories of iconic mothers and their families, some scattered or disappeared. These stories are told for the memory to survive and to celebrate what is left. The musical approach takes reference the songs of those very same families on occasions of grief and joy; the audience will discover a living anthology of Arab folk songs cultural heritage. The performance embodies family hardships and tragedies experienced by Mothers: bodies, voices, and hidden small battles within dwellings of Beirut and its suburbs. Their voices take the stage, singing, retelling what once has been,and dancing to survive what remains.
