The Organizers
The Wonder Cabinet - مجلس العجب
is a dance evening featuring four solo performances. Each piece explores ideas and themes that occupy a significant space in the minds and directions of the choreographers, with each artist expressing herself through her own unique bodily language.
This year in particular, we have experienced many contradictory, painful, and difficult emotions. It has not been an ordinary year for us and our people. This evening reflects a large part of our journey over the past year, pushing us to draw strength from the individuals and community surrounding us, helping us to reclaim the memory of the importance of our presence here and our persistence in the work that gives us hope, strength, and resistance.
The four works come together to create an experience rooted in an attempt to understand the self and the patterns we cling to in order to survive. The evening centers on the multiplicity of emotions in a vast world filled with love, pain, despair, surrender, weakness, and loss of self — drawing from the idea of holding on to one another as individuals to allow us to continue and persist in our artmaking and production, fueled by passion and renewed hope.
