Body as a Witness
Collaborative Live Performance
This presentation is the result of ‘Mycelium’ Residency with Remal Lab under the program of Idea Festival. The performance was presented in Amman on 25 September at JNGFA. This performance was the intersection of movement, sound and visual scenography blended together. An introspective progression with movement by Safa expressed in synchronicity with an intricate lighting mise en scene and visual network designed by rayane, sustained by an emotional score composed and layered by Amro.
The residency was organized by Studio 8 in collaboration with Interference & Danseurs Citoyens Sud and hosted by MMAG.
We would like to thank everyone who was involved in the process and contributed to making this happen.
thank you for this memorable experience 🤍
